Description

Leatherwood · WO Western Cape

The winery

Leatherwood

A South African brand of regional wines, bottled under the Western Cape appellation, which covers all of the Cape’s wine-growing areas. The range includes whites (sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, viognier) and reds (shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and a blend). They work mainly for export. The technical information they publish is scant, so vineyard and ageing details cannot be given precisely.
