Babylonstoren Babel Red Blend 2022

Babylonstoren is one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms, set at the foot of Simonberg in the Franschhoek wine valley. It has a fruit and vegetable garden of beauty and diversity, unique accommodation, fine food and wine, and evokes a sense of wellbeing. The wines are produced in a state-of-the-art winery and are made to showcase the soils and climate where their grapes are grown. 

The 2022 vintage of Babylonstoren Babel Red showcases a deep ruby-red color. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries, blackberries, and plums, intermingled with subtle notes of spice, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with flavors of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and a touch of pepper. The wine has a smooth texture, well-integrated tannins, and a balanced acidity, leading to a long and satisfying finish with lingering fruit and spice notes.
