Leopard's Leap Special Edition Pinotage 2021

Proud example of South Africa’s signature variety. This Pinotage displays a beautiful rich purple colour with a bright crimson red colour hue. The nose is packed with fruit-forward aromas of raspberry and cherry. Soft nuances of nutmeg and black pepper intertwine with juicy red fruit flavours, underlined by subtle hints of vanilla and oak spices, soft tannins and an elegant finish.

Fermentation took place at 22 to 24 degrees Celsius, with daily pump-overs and punch-downs.

After pressing, the wine was transferred to a combination of 300-litre French, American and Hungarian oak barrels. Each contributes to uplifting the fruit and bring out a harmonious structure on the palate. 20% in first-fill barrels for a period of 14-16 months and 80% in second-fill and third-fill barrels for the same period.
