6 bottle pack.
With our South Africa 2023 Vintage tasting coming up in December, we though we'd whet your appetite with a range of stunning reds from 2019, all from Stellenbosch. This was a vintage of really small yields, but the best producers selected only the highest quality fruit, and created wines of wonderful intensity and balance.
You get one bottle each of:
– Leeu Passant Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Stellenbosch – Seductive notes of violets, sweet cedary spice, saline blackcurrant, hints of black tea and tilled earth. 5 stars Platter Guide 2022.
