🌹 Leeu Passant – Old Vines 'Basson' Wellington Cinsault: A Floral, Silken Tribute to South Africa’s Heritage Vines 🇿🇦
South Africa, Wellington | Cinsault | Old Vines
Elegant, expressive, and beautifully perfumed, Leeu Passant's 'Basson' Cinsault is a modern South African masterpiece with old-vine soul. Sourced from dry-farmed bush vines planted in 1900, this is a wine of rare finesse—vividly aromatic and full of layered nuance.
🍒 Fragrant, Silky & Intricately Spiced:
The nose is a fragrant tapestry of roses, cranberry, maraschino cherry, wild herbs and spice. On the palate, it’s graceful and fresh, with notes of rhubarb, orange peel, pink peppercorn, and clove. Delicate but structured, it glides effortlessly, thanks to fine, chalky tannins and a whisper-soft texture.
🌿 Heritage in a Glass:
Crafted from some of South Africa’s oldest Cinsault vines, this wine honors the legacy of Wellington’s Basson family while embracing cutting-edge minimal intervention winemaking. The result is terroir-driven, transparent, and captivating.
🍽️ Perfect with Lighter Game & Herbal Dishes:
Pair with duck breast, grilled quail, herbed lamb, or beetroot tart. A brilliant red for when you want delicacy, not density.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Old Vines 'Basson' Cinsault is proof that elegance and complexity can live in harmony. For those who crave fragrant, textural reds with personality and provenance, this bottle is pure poetry from vine to glass.
