Tasting notes
The Leopard's Leap Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir exudes a refreshing and fragrant composition. The nose is filled with an array of fresh red fruits and grapefruit, complemented by tropical aromas and delicate pomegranate nuances. On the palate, a lively blend of acidity and fruitiness unfolds, leaving a fresh taste impression. The flavors range from zesty grapefruit to red fruits like cranberry and pomegranate, making this wine a refreshing and uncomplicated enjoyment.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
