Winter warmers

Who doesn't love the treat of a winter dessert?! Whether it is a rich and royal chocolatey affair or something zingy with seasonal citrus, nothing gets rid of winter chills like a proper pudding!

But what to do when you are still sipping on a lovely glass of wine (and really prefer to keep doing so) when the sweets arrive at the table? Do you have to swop your glass for coffee or a dessert wine? Not necessarily! Chef Christiaan shares recipes for wintery desserts that work a treat with wine!

Sometimes no amount of coffee, tea or hot chocolate can drive the chill from your bones. Then, the only solution is a marvelous glass of Leopard’s Leap Merlot 2021!

Of course Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinotage will also do the trick, but between 10 and 30 June, you also get 10% discount when you buy 6 bottles of Leopard’s Leap Merlot from our Tasting Room or online shop, so for an overall feel-good, you know what to do!

Drink Chenin and eat with Chenin

Chenin Blanc is such a versatile variety! You might know it best as a refreshing summer sipper, but it can also be a wonderful choice with winter flavours when you prefer a complex oaked wine like our Culinaria Chenin Blanc or choose the bubbles of our Culinaria Brut Chenin Blanc MCC! In celebration of #DrinkChenin Day on 10 June, here are some delicious wintry recipes with your choice of Leopard’s Leap Chenin Blanc – from French onion meatballs to Prawn Mac and Cheese or Braaied Fish with a light curry sauce.
