With the Classic Pinotage 2025, Leopard’s Leap brings South Africa’s signature grape variety from the sun-drenched coastal regions of Swartland and Paarl to your glass, making it effortlessly drinkable. The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness, destemmed and fermented at 22 to 24 degrees with regular punch-downs - a wonderfully juicy, easy-drinking expression of Pinotage. On the nose, the Cape’s characteristic spice comes through straight away: fully ripe raspberries and juicy plums meet clove and a hint of vanilla. This fine polish comes from six to eight months of ageing on staves made from 70% French, 20% American and 10% Hungarian oak, lending the wine deep oak spice and aromatic intensity. A rush of red berry fruit unfolds on the palate, supported by silky-soft tannins and gently balanced acidity of 5.15 g/l, with 3.65 g/l residual sugar.
