Leopards Leap Chenin Blanc 2020

Nose: Upfront aromas of Golden Delicious apples and grapefruit, supported by tropical flavours of ripe guava.
Palate: A lively combination of summer fruits, sustained by a firm acidity and a dry, lingering finish.

The interesting combination of spicy and tropical aromas, underlined by a bold acidity, makes this wine a versatile companion. Perfectly paired with fresh seafood dishes, catch of the day (hake), sweet and aromatic flavoured dishes, traditional South African bobotie, Cape Malay food styles and a selection of soft to semi-firm cheeses such as brie, gruyere and herb-crushed goat’s cheese.
