Leopard’s Leap
Leopard’s Leap celebrates Pinotage's 100th birthday in October with a giveaway, special recipes, and more.

We are celebrating Pinotage's 100th birthday in October with an exciting Pinotage and Potjie Giveaway!

Do you prefer a 3-legged potjie or a flat bottom potjie?

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram, keep an eye out for our competition posts, comment to tell us what potjie you prefer and you can win your choice of potjie from Best Duty, South Africa's trusted potjie brand. We also include a potjie lid knob, a selection of potjie recipes from the Leopard's Leap kitchen and six bottles of Leopard's Leap Pinotage.

Difficult to choose? It seems that the choice of potjie can be quite the topic of debate.

Phenomenal Pinotage

This South African wine variety is at the heart of an authentic South African food and wine experience and therefore also an essential part of the offering at Leopard's Leap. Join us at the South African Table for a special Pinotage and Potjiekos-inspired lunch or order your wine and try some of our recipes at home.

During October, buy any six bottles of our 2024 Leopard’s Leap Pinotage or 2023 Special Edition Pinotage from our Tasting Room or leopardsleap.co.za and you get 10% off!

Top twenty Pinotage

The 2023 Special Edition Pinotage is a prime example of South Africa's signature variety and we are delighted that it made the ABSA Pinotage Top Twenty List for 2025!

You can't ask for a better food partner for the Special Edition Pinotage than the favourite meal of the iconic Madiba. Try Chef Christiaan Visser's recipe for Oxtail with samp for a truly South African feast.

Easy Pinotage

The 2024 Leopard's Leap Pinotage from the Classic Collection is easy-drinking and versatile and the perfect choice with easy, tasty dishes like burgers, pizzas and stews and even our Chakalaka Boerewors Roll!

But we are all about potjies this month, and we love this Pinotage with a potjie recipe by Taste magazine - Lamb Shank with steamed Dombolo.
