Leopard's Leap Pinotage 2021

Fruity aromas of raspberries and red currant are supported by subtle nuances of vanilla and barbecue spice. Red fruit aromas follow through on the palate with bursts of juicy red berries giving a pleasant lingering aftertaste.

Grapes originate from the Swartland and Paarl areas, both ideal for growing Pinotage. Picked at optimal ripeness, the grapes were sorted, destemmed, crushed and fermented. Fermentation was between 22°C & 24°C. Regular pump-overs and punch-downs were done for optimal colour and flavour extraction

Matured on 100% Oak staves for 6 to 8 months with added micro-oxygenation. 70% of the oak staves were made from French oak, 20% from American & 10% from Hungarian
