A Big Wine for Special Occasions

Discover Babylonstoren Chardonnay, a captivating white wine that exemplifies the elegance and finesse of this beloved grape variety. Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown on Babylonstoren in the Franschhoek wine region of South Africa, this wine is a true celebration in a bottle.

Tasting Notes

Babylonstoren Chardonnay showcases a bright yellow colour with good depth, inviting you to savour its aromatic bouquet. It embodies an old-world style, with a fresh, fine-grained nose of quince, lime, and vanilla. The palate reveals a classy, sleek structure, with subtle citrus fruit softened by a textured creaminess and nutty complexity. Expect tangy mineral tones, fine intensity, and balance, leading to a refreshing finish with impressive focus and length. This is a big wine for special occasions, ready to be enjoyed now or within the next four to six years.

Craftsmanship

This exceptional Chardonnay is matured in 50% new and 50% second-fill French oak barrels, which adds layers of complexity and elegance to the wine. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak. The meticulous crafting process ensures that the wine develops its rich character while maintaining the freshness of the fruit.

South African Chardonnay

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
