Autumn is the perfect time of year to switch to easy-drinking red wines.
The Leopard's Leap Classic reds are autumn-friendly and ideal for Easter flavours. Join us and mellow into the cooler weather with our exciting new menu. Weekends are for family and friends with our popular Rotisserie and Harvest Table lunches, while weekdays are for moreish choices, a sensational selection of small plates, pizzas, burgers and of course, our famous braaibroodjies!
But even if you can’t make it to Franschhoek, pour a mellow glass of Leopard's Leap and enjoy a moreish meal from our recipe suggestions. These delicious combinations will make lunch dates linger longer, nippy sunsets smile, and Easter tables more elegant than ever.
Seasonal sipping
We have just introduced our new vintage reds with their sleek new packaging and have some seasonal recipe ideas to pair them with. We bet our mellow Merlot, classic Cabernet-Sauvignon, and best-of-both blend will become your autumn favourites this year.

Mellow but not mild
The mood is mellow and no wonder that we would like to pour a mellow glass of Merlot too! Enjoy it with these feta and caramelised onion phyllo parcels with a not-so-mild hot honey! It makes for magnificent snacking. Stack a few on a plate and make a meal of it, serve them all prettily placed on a platter as canapés or perhaps serve one or two for a starter when you set a table.

Ultimate Easter
There is no more classic a combination than Cabernet Sauvignon and lamb and these two also make for the ultimate Easter pairing. If you are planning a traditional table, this melting slow-cooked lamb shoulder with a gremolata of feta and mint will be the ultimate Easter treat!

Sweet sophistication
Is chocolate a non-negotiable part of your Easter repertoire? You are in luck as our blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot brings you the best of both Classic Cabernet and Mellow Merlot. The result is a Chocolate-friendly red wine! Try it with a chocolate basque cheesecake with raspberries. All at once, creamy and chocolatey, but with an edgy sophistication added by the fresh acidity of raspberries.
