2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Leeu Passant, Stellenbosch

2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Leeu Passant, Stellenbosch

From 2 blocks on the Helderberg, this is from 28 to 25 year old vines. There’s a core of blackcurrents, that are crunchy and refined. This is smoky and peppery, with lots of complexity on the finish. A delicious Stellenbosch Cabernet.

Tasting notes

The Leeu Passant Cabernet Sauvignon comes from two parcels on the Lower Helderberg with a marked influence from False Bay. Subtle, focused, refined and nuanced, it's a Cape red for lovers of fine Bordeaux, combining notes of graphite, cassis, plum and fresh herbs framed by graceful tannins. 2025-30
