The Babylonstoren wine estate is situated in the fertile Drakenstein Valley between the Simonsberg and Du Toitskloof mountains in the Simonsberg-Paarl region of the Western Cape. It is one of the best-preserved Cape Dutch farms in the area, with a history dating back to 1692. Today, Babylonstoren operates not only as a working farm and cellar but also as a luxury hotel, spa, and renowned culinary destination. The estate spans over 200 hectares of vineyards and orchards, celebrated globally for its magnificent fruit and vegetable gardens that form the heart of their philosophy: showcasing fresh produce in all its forms, from the plate to the bottle.
The 2024 Babylonstoren Sparkling Chenin Blanc offers a vibrant and refreshing sensory experience. On the nose, it is highly aromatic with zesty notes of lemon peel, crisp green apple, and white peach, underlined by subtle tropical hints of pineapple and winter melon. The palate is light-bodied and dry, providing a lively mousse and a clean, invigorating acidity that carries the bright fruit flavors through to a zesty, clean finish.
