60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cinsault
Drawing inspiration from the classic Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault based blends of the past century, this Leeu Passant cuvée serves as the utmost sophisticated expression of the Leeu Passant winery, where an uncompromising focus on provenance and patience ensures an exceptional wine while honoring Cape wine heritage.
This Leeu Passant cuvée offers depth and complexity that rewards over time in the glass. Aromatically, it opens with bergamot orange, layered with blackcurrant, violets, and bramble notes. The palate is structured with firm tannins, a textured mid-palate, and a fresh, seamless finish. Built for longevity, it will continue to evolve over the coming decades and is best enjoyed at 16-18°C.

Since 2013, Chris and Andrea Mullineux have been working on a new project that focuses on vineyards outside of the Swartland appellation which have been specially selected by Rosa Kruger. Together with their partner Analijt Singh they launched their game changing Leeu Passant wines. Produced from old vines, including the oldest registered red wine vineyard in South Africa, these wines redefine the South African wine landscape. Their inspiration comes from past successes of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, like Château Libertas and Rustenberg Dry Red. Their wines speak of South Africa’s heritage and bring the unique wines of the past into the future.
