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.

Tasting Note: (From the Winery)
While capturing the Stellenbosch sunshine, this textured Chardonnay reflects its maritime climate with aromas of yellow grapefruit, wet-stone and a hint of Mebos. The vibrant palate delivers notes of Key lime sorbet followed by layers of stone-fruit and lemon curd. The touch of salinity and lush mouthfeel, is well balanced by a zesty acidity, leading up to a beautifully poised and defined finish.
Best served at 10-12°C, this wine will show excellent when decanted and will reward if cellared optimally over 10 years. 

This is a Dry, Medium+ bodied wine with High acidity and Low tannin. It is Medium in it's intensity with High alcohol and a Long finish.
