Description

A well-defined ripe fruit character with aromas of tropical fruit and yellow peach are balanced with refreshing white fruit such as pear. A hint of sweet spice charms the nose while a vibrant acidity and elegant nuances of oak contribute structure and complexity. A remarkably versatile partner to food. Enjoy with Asian dishes, Cape Malay chicken curry, salads with tomato, sharp vinaigrettes or tangy mayonnaise or a variety
of seafood and creamy dishes.
These Chenin Blanc bush vines with an average age of twenty years, typically yield 4,8 tons per hectare. The unirrigated soils have a unique water-releasing capacity that favours exceptional flavor concentration.

Culinaria Chenin Blanc is certified as Wine of Origin Western Cape. Grapes originate from old dryland bush vines in Stellenbosch and Paarl. These areas are acclaimed for producing exceptional Chenin Blanc grapes.

Winemaker: Eugene Van Zyl
Leopard’s Leap was conceptualized at the turn of the century by winemaker and businessman Hein Koegelenberg. Situated in South Africa’s prime Winelands area, Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards boasts comprehensive, modern premises, neighboring the town of Franschhoek, the gourmet capital of South Africa.

Alongside its primary role as a wine producer, Leopard’s Leap has developed rapidly as a tourist destination with an attractive offering. Visitors can get close to the values of the Leopard’s Leap brand and experience the Leopard’s Leap identity and principal passions – wine, food, conservation, and literature.
