BABYLONSTOREN CHENIN BLANC 75CL 14.5%

This 100% Chenin Blanc is made from grapes grown on the foothills of Simonsberg Mountain, an area located between Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl in the Western Cape.

The grapes are softly pressed and undergo cool fermentation to preserve crisp fruit aromas. The wine is then aged for four months on its secondary lees, adding texture and body to the wine. Something that's needed when you have such ripe fruit and a higher alcohol level. The result is a very drinkable wine with intensely fruity aromas of guava and tropical fruit.

The nose entices you into a crisp, dry palate with notes of pear, fresh melon, pineapple and whipped cream.

Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish etc, roast or grilled Chicken, and summer salads. Its also great with goat cheese, and lightly spiced Asian dishes

What Cheeses to Enjoy with Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc? Our Delice de Bourgogne, as the high acidity of this Chenin Blanc cuts through the rich, buttery, and creamy texture of the delice.

Goat Cheese, as the tangy goat cheese complements the crisp fruitiness of the wine.
Our Aged Old Amsterdam, with its nutty, caramel-like notes harmonize with the wine's fruit-driven flavors.

Swiss Gruyère: A nutty, semi-soft cheese that stands up to the wine without overpowering it.
And our Cornish Yarg, with its slightly tangy, creamy cheese that works well with the wine’s, crisp profile.
