A poised and elegant Chenin Blanc from the historic Babylonstoren estate in Paarl, crafted in a fresh yet textured style that reflects the farm’s meticulous, low-intervention approach. This is a Chenin of clarity, balance, and quiet complexity.
Tasting Notes Delicate aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus blossom are layered with hints of honeyed apple and wet stone. The palate is finely textured, combining ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a subtle mineral edge that carries through to a long, dry finish.
Winemaking Grapes are carefully selected and gently handled to preserve purity of fruit. Fermentation and maturation are managed to build texture without overt oak influence, allowing the vineyard character and freshness to shine.
