About this wine
Bold Elegance from the Cape
Babylonstoren Shiraz embodies depth and sophistication, crafted with precision from vineyards at the foot of the Simonsberg Mountain. The Shiraz grapes are fermented on their skins for around seven days, followed by extended maceration. After pressing, the wine matures in 70% new and 30% second-fill 300-litre French oak barrels. Following malolactic fermentation, it is racked and returned to oak for a further 18 months before bottling — a meticulous process that enhances both texture and complexity.
The result is a rich, full-bodied Shiraz brimming with blackberry, violet, and cracked pepper aromas. Layers of plum and dark chocolate unfold across a smooth, lingering finish, where ripe fruit and oak are perfectly in harmony.
