A Refreshing Reflection of South African Terroir

Introducing Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc, a lithe, dry summer white that's hard not to love. This stunning wine embodies the vibrant spirit of South Africa’s winemaking heritage, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate the fresh and fruity characteristics of this versatile grape.

Tasting Notes

Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc displays a bright straw yellow colour with a light greenish tint, inviting you to experience its aromatic bouquet. The nose is bursting with enticing notes of intriguing white peach, ripe pineapple, and underlying lemon curd, complemented by refreshing hints of guava, winter melon, fresh gooseberries, and Packham pear undertones. The silky smooth entrance reveals many layers of supple fruit, handled with care to retain the intrinsic Chenin personality at its best. Beautifully balanced, this wine offers a delicious streak of acidity that brings freshness and focus to the palate, making it ideal for summer drinking.

Craftsmanship

Carefully cultivated in Babylonstoren’s vineyards, a total of 10% of the Chenin Blanc blend is aged in Nomblot cement eggs and terracotta clay amphorae, adding a unique depth and complexity to the wine. The remaining grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo gentle pressing, with the juice fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of the fruit flavours. This meticulous process reflects the unique terroir of the estate, creating a fresh and vibrant expression of Chenin Blanc.
