The Leopard's Leap Culinaria Chenin Blanc is a wonderful white wine that impresses on the nose with its distinct fruit character. Aromas of tropical fruits and peaches are balanced by fresh white fruits like pear. A hint of sweet spices rounds off the first impression very successfully. A vibrant acidity and elegant oak notes give the Leopard's Leap Culinaria Chenin Blanc structure and complexity on the palate. Like all the wines in the collection, the white wine, aged for eight months in French oak and three months in the bottle, is an incredibly versatile food companion. Whether dishes of Asian cuisine, a delicious curry with chicken, seafood, salads or dishes with a creamy sauce - the Leopard's Leap Culinaria Chenin Blanc is always the right choice. But the white wine is also a culinary highlight on its own.
