A refined and expressive Shiraz from the iconic Babylonstoren estate in Paarl, combining ripe fruit purity with spice, structure, and elegance. This is a modern South African Shiraz — powerful yet controlled, with freshness and balance at its core.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of blackberry, mulberry, and dark cherry are layered with black pepper, clove, and subtle floral notes. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering juicy dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and well-integrated oak leading to a long, savoury finish.
Winemaking
Fruit is carefully harvested and fermented to preserve varietal character, then matured in oak to add depth and complexity without overwhelming the wine’s natural freshness.
