Leopard's Leap
 | Leopard's Leap is an exciting range of South African wines created by Historic Wines of the Cape, the new independent company that was established by three historic French Huguenot wine farms in Franschhoek valley. The three founding estates, owned by the influential Rupert family, have also invested extensively in other grape growing areas such as Darling, on the West Coast, and the Botriver, close to Hermanus on the South Coast. With such natural assets and modern winemaking facilities at their disposal, plus an intimate understanding of the power of brands in the international marketplace, Leopard's Leap was created, a South African brand that has already shown its huge international potential. |
Leopards Leap wines are made to the highest standards and are modern, fresh and vibrant in style. The brand has notched up both awards for quality and commercial success

- Leopard's Leap Pinotage Shiraz
“Ripe fruit, leather, spice and a whiff of game result from this marriage of South Africa's native Pinotage grape with its most promising import, Shiraz. A smooth wine but with firm body that reveals plenty of fruit and a hint of tannin. Big enough to stand up to roast meats and pies." ANDREW CATCHPOLE - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
