Leopards Leap Lookout Chenin Blanc Semi-Sweet 2012

Wine Style: A medium to full-bodied semi-sweet white wine with New World complexity that will seduce the sweeter as well as the off-dry palate.
Nose: Gracious grapefruit and orange zest on the nose creates curiosity as hints of peach join in a carnival of fruit aromas.
Palate: Peach flavours are joined by whiffs of candy floss and sunny mango before the palate is satisfied by a dry, non-jammy and lingering finish.

The abundance of this wine will stand its ground against spicier cuisines such as mild Thai and fruity Cape Malay curries. Interesting partner to the classic cheese course and perfect balance to prominent flavours of Cheddar and mild blue cheese.
