Babylonstoren Cabernet Sauvignon

A Celebration in a Glass

Babylonstoren Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex, full-bodied red wine embodying the celebration spirit. Sourced from eight distinct vineyard blocks, this stellar wine is crafted to impress any wine enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson in colour, this Cabernet Sauvignon entices with red plum and blueberry aromas, accented by hints of sweet tobacco and cedar wood shavings. On the palate, a fusion of dark fruits, cherries, and cassis unfolds, revealing a velvety texture that makes this wine exceptionally soft and multi-layered. Well-rounded tannins lead to a lingering finish, inviting you back for more.

Craftsmanship

Each grape is hand-harvested and meticulously selected to ensure only the best make it into the bottle. Matured in a combination of 40% new and 60% second- and third-fill 300-litre oak barrels for 18 months, the wine is then bottled and matured for an additional three months prior to release. This careful ageing process enhances the wine’s complexity and depth, showcasing the dedication of Babylonstoren’s winemakers.
