OVERVIEW

Leopards Leap's Culinaria Grand Vin is a distinguished red wine that combines select varietals to create a harmonious and elegant blend. This wine is a superb expression of South African winemaking, ideal for those seeking a sophisticated and rewarding red wine experience.

TASTING NOTES

Grand Vin is a Bordeaux-style blend that has intricate flavors. It has aromas of red fruit, a hint of umami-rich shiitake mushrooms, with integrated tobacco, and a touch of aromatic cedar, and finishes with a taste reminiscent of sweet lychee. The ripe tannins give it a strong, graceful structure.

PAIRING SUGGESTION:

Cabernet Sauvignon-baed wines match well with Peking duck. The wine's bold tannins and dark fruit flavours complement the rich and savoury duck, creating an unforgettable culinary experience.

AGING POTENTIAL

Up to 10 years from vintage. Ideal storage conditions are 12 to 14˚C with 60% to 70% humidity and kept in a dark place.
