2020 Leeu Passant Cabernet Sauvignon, Mullineux, Stellenbosch

2020 Leeu Passant Cabernet Sauvignon, Mullineux, Stellenbosch

This Cabernet comes from the talented Chris and Andrea Mullineux (famed for making some of the Cape’s most impressive, serious bottlings), and their Leeu Passant project which has seen them establish roots in Stellenbosch. Planted on the mid-slopes of iron and sandstone-rich soils of the Helderberg Mountain, the grapes from this cool site naturally achieve a focus and sophistication that is reminiscent of many classical Cabernets.

The wines are artisanally made, hand harvested with careful winemaking to extract only the finest tannins before ageing in larger 500 litre barrels, resulting in a balanced and elegant Cabernet. With notes of mulberry and dried orange rind on the nose, the palate opens to cassis and plum, with silky, elegant tannins. Richness and power is beautifully balanced with freshness and finesse.
