Product Notes

Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional South African wine offering an exquisite blend of complex flavours. Originating from the sun-soaked terrains of Stellenbosch, this rich, full-bodied wine exhibits deep, amber hues. Its compelling notes of black currant, blueberry, and cinnamon are perfectly balanced with a subtle hint of tobacco, lending to a robust yet velvety texture. An undercurrent of oak runs through, indicative of its ageing process. This Cabernet Sauvignon is culturally-rooted and refined, encapsulating the spirit of Leeu Passant winery. It pairs wonderfully with hearty meats, making it an elegant addition to any dining occasion.

Tasting Notes

This aromatic Cabernet shows notes of cassis, tarragon, graphite and cedar on the nose. These continue on the palate which has a silky texture and great structure from the fine tannins. The richness and power of the wine are balanced by freshness and finesse. The finish is dry with lingering blackcurrant and blueberry flavours.
