mehrere Informationen

Leeuwenkuil Reserve White is a stunning and highly endowed cuvée of eight different grape varieties, blended from the best barrels of the vintage. Only the crème de la crème made it into the selection for this first-class blend. The seductive bouquet of fragrant white flowers and fresh apples as well as a hint of pepper ensnares the nose. The palate is caressed by absolutely delicious nuances of ripe peaches and tangy pineapple, which are underlined by a subtle chalky minerality and end in a pleasantly long-lasting finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes were pressed all over the bunch in order to preserve the natural acidity as much as possible. Half of the juice obtained was fermented in French oak barrels with a capacity of 5000 litres per barrel, while the other 50% was aged in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured in French oak for 9 months before being blended and bottled for final enjoyment.
