Family Collection

Specially created for the discerning palate, this collection brims with style. The wines are made only when a grape variety of a specific vintage shows an extraordinary characteristic that attracts the cellarmaster's attention and gains his special endorsement. This limited collection currently comprises a Rhône-style blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Viognier.

Shiraz / Mourvèdre / Viognier
This wine has great maturation potential. A full-bodied blend, with cloves and pepper on the nose. A good companion to red meat, duck and pork dishes.


Special Edition

A collectors' series of wines that reflects the Leopard's Leap commitment to the conservation of the Cape Mountain Leopard through an annual contribution to the Cape Leopard Trust. Three leopards adopted by Leopard's Leap under this initiative are featured on bottle packages of this edition, comprising a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Merlot and a Shiraz.
