How about mixing a charming mocktail for a lazy Sunday get-together? Make a sweet and fragrant peach and thyme cordial, mix it with a dash of honey syrup, some fresh lemon juice and a generous pour of our Natura Classic De-alc White.

Our popular Moscato now has a pink partner and this delightful duo will be the ultimate summer sippers this season.

Make the most of Moscato:

• Pool Parties
• Lazy Lunches
• Scenic Sunsets
• When you go to the bush, baby!

The 2026 Moscato Perlé Rosé is semi-sweet, lightly sparkling and lower in alcohol (10.8%). Light-bodied and vibrant, the palate offers an inviting burst of sweet fruit, juicy strawberry, litchi and Turkish Delight. Balanced by refreshing acidity and a soft, delicate sparkle, the w**e delivers a crisp, clean finish.

The rosé beautifully complements the white 2026 Moscato, an expressive and inviting white w**e with fresh aromas of litchi and ripe apricot. Light (also 10.8% alcohol) with a bright sweetness and vibrant fruit, the perlé adds a creamy mousse to the palate while gentle notes of exotic spice linger with finesse.

Available at R85 per bottle from the Leopard’s Leap Tasting room and leopardsleap.co.za

What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘leopard’? 🐆
The obvious answer would probably be that famous feline, 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘶𝘴. But did you know that South Africa is home to a whole variety of ‘leopards’? From plants and insects to amphibians, reptiles and marine life, ‘leopards’ can be spotted across the tree of life – all named for their spotted resemblance to the iconic big cat.

Spots (or more accurately rosettes) may be some of the prettiest patterns in nature, but these markings aren’t just for show. Across the natural world, spotted and mottled patterns can serve all sorts of purposes:

👀 For camouflage: spots can break up an animal’s outline and help it disappear into dappled or patterned surroundings – whether that’s vegetation on land or a rocky seafloor.
⚠️ For warning and deception: some spots do the opposite – standing out to warn predators or mimic danger. Bold patterns can confuse, deceive, or deter.
💘 For recognition and communication: patterns can also play a role in recognising members of the same species or attracting mates.
🌿 And plants get in on it too: mottled leaves and spotted flowers arise from patterns in pigmentation and development. These can help manage sunlight, deter herbivores, or attract pollinators.

✨ Different species, different environments, different challenges, same solution: a spot-tacular adaptation to survive and thrive!

At the Cape Leopard Trust, leopards (the feline kind 😉) may be at the heart of what we do, but they are just one piece in South Africa’s intricate biodiversity puzzle. Conserving leopards means understanding and protecting all the creatures they share the landscape with. Conservation is about protecting the entire web of life – not just the iconic species 🐆🌍

How many of these ‘leopards’ did you know existed? And when it comes to spots, who do you think wears it best? 👇
