Leopards Leap Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2020

Nose: The elegant burst of citrus from the Chardonnay is beautifully complemented by delicious pomegranate aromas of the Pinot Noir. A modern interpretation of Burgundy’s best.
Palate: The emphasis is on the mouthfeel. A lively combination of acidity and fruitiness. The palate reveals fresh citrusy pomelo and red-fruit avours of cranberry and pomegranate

The perfect aperitif and a versatile food companion to duck, Mediterranean cuisine, sushi and an array of soft cheeses.
