Descrizione

Le uve utilizzate per produrre questo vino provengono da otto appezzamenti di vigneti coltivati in modo sostenibile, di età compresa tra 12 e 40 anni.

Dopo la raccolta, le uve vengono refrigerate in cella frigorifera, e lì vengono diraspate in vasca; il 25% dei grappoli viene pressato intero, la restante parte viene diraspata e pigiata. La fermentazione in vasche in acciaio inox avviene mediante lieviti indigeni, le temperature non superano mai i 28°C e la macerazione dura dalle 4 alle 6 settimane. In seguito il vino completa la fermentazione malolattica in fusti di rovere francese, dove affina 11 mesi.

Ogni vitigno presente nell’assemblaggio di questo vino contribuisce al suo equilibrio: Carignan apporta la freschezza, Tinta Barocca i tannini, Grenache frutto e carattere, ed infine il Syrah unisce armoniosamente il tutto.

Un sorso molto interessante e piacevole al palato che offre all'olfatto gradevoli sentori speziati che si mescolano perfettamente agli aromi di frutti a bacca nera. Si consiglia il consumo in abbinamento a formaggi non troppo stagionati e portate a base di carne.

Winery history

The estate grew out of the work of Chris and Andrea Mullineux: the Mullineux project is focused on high-quality production in the Swartland, while in 2013 the Mullineux family joined Analjit Singh to form Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines and establish the Leeu Passant winery at Leeu Estates in Franschhoek. The house has grown to become one of South Africa’s benchmarks for terroir-driven wines and for careful vineyard and cellar work.

Production philosophy

The approach focuses on expressing the terroir through sustainable farming and measured winemaking: wines that aim to reflect the soils and local clones, with natural fermentations and minimal use of additives and sulfites.

Terroir and vineyards

Production is based in two areas of the Western Cape: Roundstone Farm in the Riebeek Kasteel district, characterised by soils of shale, granite and iron-rich deposits; and Leeu Passant at Leeu Estates, Franschhoek, which produces multi-regional wines drawing on vineyards from different areas of the Cape.

Awards and recognitions

International recognition, including repeated mentions in Platter’s South African Wine Guide and inclusion in Wine & Spirits' Top 100 Wineries in recent years; individual international awards for the producers.
