Leeu Passant is the Franschhoek Winery of Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines. Seperate from the Milluneux range, the Leeu Passant wines are multi-regional bottlings inspired by the classic age-worthy wines of the Cape from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s. These were authentic wines unique to the culture, terroir, history and tastes of the Cape, and today the family strive to reflect these unique factors in their modern interpretations of these wines.
Fruit for the Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards on the cool slopes of the Helderberg Mountain and Polkadraai Hills. Stellenbosch is a natural home for Cabernet Sauvignon and this wine represents the distinguished elegance and balance that the grape can exude there.
Tasting Note:
This aromatic Cabernet shows notes of cassis, tarragon, graphite and cedar on the nose. These continue on the palate which has a silky texture and great structure from the fine tannins. The richness and power of the wine are balanced by freshness and finesse which doesnt weigh the palate down. The finish is dry with lingering blackcurrant and blueberry flavours. It's fabulously old school it it's style and there is no doubt this wine will continue to age well and develop into something that harks back to the great old Clarets in Stellenbosch of times gone by. Patience will reward here.
This is a Dry, Medium+ bodied wine with High acidity and Medium+ tannin. It is Medium+ in it's intensity with High alcohol and a Medium+ finish.
