Leopards Leap Family Collection Chenin Blanc 2011

Style: Complex, full-bodied wine, made to be the perfect partner to fine foods.
Nose: Tropical nuances of ripe peach and apricot, supported by subtle undertones of spice.
Palate: Well structured and elegantly balanced with rich layers of orange peel and pineapple, culminating in a memorable after-taste.

The unique structure of this wine makes it most suited to more complex Asian cuisine as well as meat or fish dishes with classic, rich, creamy sauces.
