Leopard Frog Ingenue Cabernet Sauvignon Rose 2011

Leopard Frog Vineyards

Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

Do not be fooled. This is no damsel in distress. This is the girl next door with attitude. This is Lizzy Bennet with a dash of vamp.

Ingenue is the only Cabernet Sauvignon Rose from South Africa comprised entirely of free run juice (vin de goutte) matured in new French oak barriques using only wild yeast fermentation.

A once-off limited release of 6 barrels only. Each wine bottle individually numbered.

Appearance

Rich, radiant palates of pink illuminate the natural beauty and complexity of this wine. Brilliant lustre and luminosity with long legs foreshadow a vivacious and voluptuous personality that invites immediate interest.

Nose

A beautiful, complex bouquet that bewitches your senses. Alluring aromas of candy floss and green gage plums in a large yet nuanced nose full of fragrances and fruit that betray the sophisticated, sensuous and stylish personality of this wine.

Taste

A luscious mouth-watering kiss immediately satisfies your senses before revealing a full and firm body that slowly undresses layers of berries and cherries in a complex, well-conceived seduction that climaxes with wet whispers of black berries and cassis in a gratifying finish that leaves you wanting more (much more). A divine and devilish companion that vivificates any occasion.
