Leeu Passant, Old Vines `Lötter` Franschhoek Cinsault, 6x75cl

🍒 Leeu Passant – Old Vines ‘Lötter’ Cinsault: A Heritage Vineyard, Reimagined with Grace 🌿
South Africa, Franschhoek | Cinsault

From one of South Africa’s oldest registered red wine vineyards, Lötter is a beautifully revived treasure—crafted by Andrea and Chris Mullineux under their Leeu Passant label. This is old-vine Cinsault elevated: perfumed, poised, and brimming with quiet complexity.

🍓 Lifted, Silken, and Delicately Spiced:
The nose is enchanting—red cherries, crushed strawberries, and a touch of aged leather, all beautifully focused. The palate follows with balance and finesse: a light touch of Chinese five-spice, a thread of sage, and finely tuned acidity weave through soft, caressing tannins and a long, elegant finish.

🌄 Historic Vines, Minimal Intervention:
Planted in 1932 in Franschhoek, the Lötter vineyard yields naturally low crops of intensely characterful fruit. With sensitive winemaking and a gentle hand, Leeu Passant lets the vineyard speak—layered, refined, and deeply expressive of place.

🧀🍗🌶️ For Elegant Plates and Intriguing Pairings:
Pair with duck breast, mushroom ragù, or aromatic dishes like five-spice pork or roasted root vegetables. Its subtle spice and graceful texture make it a versatile match for nuanced, thoughtful cuisine.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Old Vines Lötter Cinsault is a rare gem—light yet soulful, complex yet unforced. It’s South African heritage bottled with elegance, a wine that honors the past while redefining the future of Cinsault.
