Andrea Mullineux - Leeu Passant
About this Item
This exceptional magnum duo brings together two of Leeu Passant's flagship releases both celebrating a decade: a highly sought after, structured, age-worthy Stellenbosch Chardonnay and the remarkable Dry Red, referred to as The Leeu Passant, which hails from some of South Africa's oldest and most storied vineyards, up to 126 years old. Together, they offer a compelling window into Leeu Passant's philosophy of minimal intervention, extraordinary terroir, and wines built to stand the test of time.
Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2016 (1.5L)
From deep loam soils on the Helderberg Mountain, the Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Chardonnay delivers oak, fresh passion fruit, lime, and flint on the nose. The textured palate is packed with citrus zest and crushed shells, offering a long, mineral finish. This extremely rare wine normally sells on allocation only.
Leeu Passant Dry Red Wine 2016 (1.5L)
A remarkable blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Cinsault sourced from some of South Africa's oldest vineyards including a now 126-year-old heritage vineyard. Aromas of bergamot, tobacco, and dark fruit lead to a structured, layered palate with firm, grainy tannins and a long, dry finish. This critically acclaimed wine was built to cellar for decades.
Leeu Passant is the Franschhoek winery of Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines.
Each wine is signed by Andrea and packed in a wooden box.
