In 2013, husband & wife team Chris and Andrea Mullineux partnered with Analjit Singh (BAS) to establish Leeu Passant winery on the beautiful Leeu Estates in Franschhoek. The winery is dedicated to showcasing the South African landscape and climate, with a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and community upliftment. By working with some of the Cape’s oldest and most exceptional vineyards, they honour the country’s rich winemaking and viticultural heritage.
Sourced from a historic parcel of dry-farmed bush vine Cinsault planted in 1900, rooted in deep sandy alluvial soils in Wellington. Recognized as South Africa’s oldest registered red wine vineyard, it continues to produce fruit of remarkable character and heritage.
This aromatic wine opens with an alluring, complex bouquet of roses, cranberries, cherries, warm spice, and a whisper of thyme. The palate is fresh and silky, layered with notes of orange peel, rhubarb, maraschino cherry, pink peppercorn, and clove. Fine tannins provide elegant structure, carrying the flavours through to a refined finish.
