[2018/10]恭喜猎豹酒庄经典白诗南葡萄酒在2018米开朗基罗葡萄酒大赛中胜出

2018年猎豹酒庄的Leap Classic Chenin Blanc【猎豹经典白诗南】在2018年米开朗基罗国际葡萄酒与烈酒奖中获得了白诗南组的奖杯。这是既2016年猎豹白诗南在 “Standard Bank白诗南挑战赛” 上的出色表现之后大家对的猎豹酒庄的酿造团队又一肯定。

“我再次被白诗南的多姿多彩深刻打动了”，猎豹酒庄的首席执行官Hein Koegelenberg说。 “无论是采用橡木桶陈酿让它有更复杂的风味还是作为一种易于饮用入口清新的葡萄酒，白诗南都是不错的选择。”

2018年猎豹酒庄的经典白诗南是拥有成熟夏季水果和微妙浆果香气的活泼组合，酒体清爽宜人，余味缭绕。这款经典白诗南适合搭配海鲜，沙拉，甚至是半熟奶酪，如布里干酪和草本碎山羊奶酪。它也应该是那些具有挑战性的亚洲佳肴的理想选择。

2018年份的葡萄来自Agter-Paarl地区的Perdeberg，该地区以卓越的白诗南葡萄而闻名。葡萄在最佳成熟度下收获，去梗和压碎。游离汁分别与压榨组分发酵。发酵后，将少量压榨汁加入到混合物中，以提供额外的身体和风味。

由于干白葡萄酒在国内葡萄酒市场份额很低，所以我们千品乐暂时未引进该款葡萄酒，有点小遗憾~~

但猎豹其他酒款仍在热销中，有兴趣的朋友请联系我们

The 2018 Leopard’s Leap Classic Chenin Blanc has been awarded with the Chenin Blanc Trophy in the 2018 Michelangelo International Wine & Spirit Awards. Hot on the heels of the exceptional Top Ten performance of its 2016 Culinaria Chenin Blanc in the Standard Bank Chenin Blanc Challenge, this award reaffirms the Leopard’s Leap winemaking team’s knack for this variety.

“I am again impressed by the versatility of Chenin Blanc”, says Leopard’s Leap CEO, Hein Koegelenberg. “Whether made in a more complex style with oak maturation or as an easy-drinking, fresher style of wine, Chenin Blanc is a great choice.”

The 2018 Leopard’s Leap Chenin Blanc offers a lively combination of ripe summer fruit and subtle fynbos undertones, sustained by a firm acidity and a dry, lingering finish. A refreshing glass on its own, this classic Chenin Blanc makes for a versatile partner with seafood, salads and even semi-firm cheeses such as brie and herb-crushed goat’s cheese. It should also be the go-to choice with those often challenging Asian flavours.

Grapes for the 2018 vintage are from the Perdeberg in the Agter-Paarl region, acclaimed for exceptional Chenin Blanc. Harvested at optimum ripeness, the grapes were destemmed and crushed. The free-run juice was fermented separately from the press component. After fermentation, a small portion of the press juice was added to the blend to contribute some additional body and flavour.

The 2018 Leopard’s Leap Chenin Blanc is available from leading retailers, wine shops and Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards in Franschhoek.
