Why we chose it

“Half new oak, half second fill, and the lime still comes through clean underneath. If you gave up on Chardonnay years ago, this is the bottle I would bring you back with.”

About this wine

Babylonstoren Chardonnay is a captivating white wine that exemplifies the finesse of this much-loved grape. Grown on the historic Babylonstoren estate in South Africa's Franschhoek region, it shines with an old-world charm that is both sophisticated and inviting. Bright yellow in colour, the bouquet offers quince, lime, and a gentle touch of vanilla.

On the palate, sleek citrus freshness is softened by creamy texture, nutty depth, and a fine mineral edge, finishing long and beautifully balanced. Crafted with meticulous care, the grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed before fermentation in both stainless steel and oak. Maturation in 50% new and 50% second-fill French oak barrels adds layered complexity and refinement.

About the producer

Babylonstoren is one of South Africa's oldest wine farms, with a history stretching back to 1692 on the slopes of Simonsberg in Stellenbosch. Restored and reimagined as an extraordinary wine, garden, and hospitality estate, Babylonstoren produces a distinctive range of wines that express the Simonsberg terroir, from the award-winning Babel blend to single-varietal expressions of Mourvedre, Shiraz, and Viognier.

Thank you Kelly for my order, as you know this is my favourite South African Chardonnay I have tasted to date. Also, your price is more reasonable than the Newt in Somerset, who's owner Koos Bekker owns the Babylonstoren vineyard. Thank you for delivering to me too. Warm regards. Sam Hawkins
