Specifications

Description

The Leopard's Leap Natura De-Alcoholized Classic White is a crisp, fruit-forward alternative for occasions when you want the experience of a glass of wine with very little alcohol. Unlike a grape juice or wine-inspired beverage, Natura begins life as a traditionally fermented wine before the alcohol is carefully removed. The finished wine contains just 0.27% alcohol by volume.

Fresh and aromatic, the nose brings together caramelized pear and orange peel with delicate apple and citrus blossom, followed by plenty of ripe tropical fruit. The palate is juicy and refreshing, with bright acidity balancing its generous fruit and gentle sweetness. Easygoing but recognizably vinous, it's an appealing option for anyone looking to moderate their alcohol intake without giving up the ritual of opening and sharing a bottle of wine.

Enjoy well chilled on its own, or pair with fresh salads, delicate soups, sushi, grilled fish, shellfish, lightly spiced dishes, and other fresh seafood.

In the cellar

The grapes are sourced from cool-climate vineyards and harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve their varietal character. The fruit is first gently vinified with minimal intervention, creating a conventional wine before the de-alcoholization process begins.

Once the winemaking team is satisfied with the finished wine, the alcohol is carefully removed through vacuum distillation at low temperatures. Working under vacuum allows alcohol to be removed at a lower temperature, helping retain more of the wine's original aromas and flavors. The result is a genuine de-alcoholized wine rather than a beverage that has never undergone fermentation.

Winemaker: Eugene van Zyl

About the Winery

Leopard's Leap is based in Franschhoek and is known for approachable, contemporary South African wines with a strong connection to food and relaxed enjoyment around the table. Its portfolio spans everyday wines, more serious food-focused releases, and the Natura collection for those looking to reduce their alcohol intake.

The Natura range takes a particularly wine-focused approach to the category: the wines undergo traditional alcoholic fermentation first, with the alcohol only removed once the winemaker is satisfied with the quality. This helps retain the flavor, aroma, and character of the original wine while bringing the final alcohol level below 0.5% ABV.
