We are celebrating Pinotage's 100th birthday in October with an exciting Pinotage and Potjie Giveaway!

Do you prefer a 3-legged potjie or a flat bottom potjie?

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram, keep an eye out for our competition posts, comment to tell us what potjie you prefer and you can win your choice of potjie from Best Duty, South Africa's trusted potjie brand. We also include a potjie lid knob, a selection of potjie recipes from the Leopard's Leap kitchen and 6 bottles of Leopard's Leap Pinotage - 3 of the Classic Collection and 3 of the Special Edition. (We have one 3-legged and one flat bottom potjie to give away)

Difficult to choose? It seems that the choice of potjie can be quite the topic of debate! 

Chef Christiaan prefers a flat bottom because of its versatility. "There is no denying the charm of a traditional potjie with its "boeppensie" on three legs, but the flat bottom pot or Dutch Oven, is just more versatile as I can use it in the oven on the gas top and I even bake bread in mine."

Cellarmaster Renier prefers to do his cooking on the open fire and therefore his choice is the 3-leg potjie. "I love that it can stand directly in the coals, the rings on the side guide me when it comes to portion size as I tend to over-cater and I just love its cuteness factor!"

(Did you know that the number of rings on a traditional potjie multiplied by the size of your potjie, indicates the number of servings? A size 3 pot with  4 rings around it,  roughly caters for 12 guests.)

Potjies are durable, sociable and allow you to cater for a crowd - the original one-dish wonder! Use this very handy guide by Outdoor Warehouse to learn more about caring for your potjie. 

Also don't miss out on our October SA Table lunches at Leopard's Leap - a celebration of potjiekos and Pinotage! And remember, when you order any 6 bottles of Pinotage from our Tasting Room or leopardsleap.co.za during October, you pay 10% less.
