Leopard’s Leap Chardonnay Pinot Noir is a rosé-style wine from the Western Cape, South Africa, that blends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The wine is made by fermenting each variety separately, often in stainless steel, at cool temperatures. Chardonnay contributes crisp acidity and citrus brightness, while Pinot Noir brings red fruit nuance and aromatic depth. The wine is lightly styled, offering freshness and fruit-forward charm, perfect for casual sipping or pairing with lighter fare.
