Leopards Leap Chenin Blanc 750ML
You know that first sip that just resets your whole evening? This is it. Leopard's Leap Chenin Blanc is all juicy guava, ripe pear and a snap of green apple, dry but generous, with enough zip to keep you coming back to the glass. Pour it cold on a hot Nairobi night, line up the nyama choma, and let it do the heavy lifting. We'll have it at your door before you've even found the corkscrew.
Stick your nose in and you get sweet melon and guava first, then a soft floral lift like jasmine and peach blossom. The sip is fruit-forward and easy: white peach, a bit of caramelised pear, a citrus edge. It's dry, so the fruit reads ripe rather than sugary, and a clean line of acidity keeps the finish fresh instead of fat. Medium body, no oak getting in the way, just bright fruit and a tidy, mouth-watering close.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Leopard's Leap is a family winery with its home in the lush Franschhoek Valley, one of South Africa's prettiest wine corners. For this Chenin they pull fruit from the warm, granite Paardeberg and Swartland areas, old Chenin country that grows it about as well as anywhere on earth. Chenin Blanc is basically South Africa's signature white, and this is a brilliant everyday example of why the Cape does it so well.
