Winery Leopard's Leap
Leopard's Leap is a modern Winery in the renowned wine region of Franschhoek in South Africa. Founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Hein Koegelenberg, it now stands for accessible, high-quality wines with an international appeal.
In 2012, the stylish Tasting Centre was opened, offering visitors a comprehensive culinary experience – including wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, and regionally inspired cuisine.
The Winery is particularly committed to conservation: with the support of the Cape Leopard Trust, Leopard's Leap actively works to protect the endangered Cape mountain leopard.
Tasting notes
The Leopard's Leap Special Edition Red Blend presents itself with a deep, rich purple-red color and bright red highlights. In the nose, it unfolds aromas of red fruits and subtle sweet spices. On the palate, well-integrated notes of blueberry, cassis, and oak are evident. The elegant tannins give the wine a smooth texture and lead to a long, pleasant finish.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
