Babylonstoren Viognier 2024

Babylonstoren Viognier is a beautifully aromatic white wine from South Africa's celebrated Simonsberg-Paarl region, where the estate's sun-drenched vineyards produce grapes of exceptional concentration and flavour. Viognier is one of the world's most perfumed white grapes, and Babylonstoren's version is a particularly expressive example — bursting with ripe peach, apricot, and honeysuckle on the nose, with a luscious, textured palate that balances richness with refreshing finesse.

On the palate, expect a full and rounded mouthfeel, with tropical fruit notes giving way to subtle floral spice and a clean, lingering finish. The wine is crafted to preserve the grape's vibrant aromatics and natural freshness, showcasing the purity and character that Babylonstoren's exceptional terroir delivers vintage after vintage.

Babylonstoren is one of South Africa's most celebrated wine estates, set on a historic farm in the Franschhoek Valley with roots dating back to 1692. The estate is known for its meticulous vineyard care and a commitment to producing wines that express the unique character of their surroundings — wines that are both distinctly South African and universally appealing.

A wonderfully versatile food wine, Babylonstoren Viognier pairs beautifully with lightly spiced dishes, Thai cuisine, prawn and seafood dishes, grilled chicken, fresh vegetable curries, and soft creamy cheeses. Equally satisfying enjoyed on its own as an aperitif on a warm afternoon.
