The Heritage Blend uses ripe, concentrated Shiraz from Breedekloof to provide depth and dark‑fruit weight, with Grenache and Cinsault parcels from Paarl adding perfume, lift and early drinkability. Vineyard management is focused and pragmatic, and the cellar regime favours modest intervention and measured French‑oak maturation to provide structure and spice without masking varietal clarity. The overall aim is a well‑made, food‑friendly red that reflects Cape terroir in a straightforward, approachable style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour:\u003cbr\u003eVibrant purple with deep red hues and good clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose:\u003cbr\u003eDark plum and blackberry dominate, with a background of dried herbs and a subtle floral lift.

The Shiraz supplies the primary fruit weight, while Grenache and Cinsault bring lift and aromatic finesse. Tannins are well defined yet supple, and oak is used judiciously to frame the fruit rather than overwhelm it. The wine is round in the mid‑palate, dry and structured for food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish:\u003cbr\u003eLingering dark fruit and mixed spice with a dry, savoury edge that keeps the finish focused and moreish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leopards Leap","offers":[{"title":"750ml Bottle","offer_id":45185712488627,"sku":"RW2228BR40","price":135.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5195\/9731\/files\/RW2228BR40.jpg?v=1766150808","url":"https:\/\/www.wineofthemonth.co.za\/products\/leopards-leap-family-coll-heritage-blend-2022","provider":"Wine of the Month","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
