Babylonstoren
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. Our 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 Tasting Room sits adjacent to the Wine Cellar, offering views of the conical Babylonstoren hill, Simonsberg and the Banghoek Mountains. We have about 94 hectares (232 acres) under vine and produce 13 different grape varieties, with our highest vines – pinot noir and chardonnay – lying against Simonsberg at some 600 metres above sea level. Led by cellar master Charl Coetzee and winemaker Klaas Stoffberg, the farm’s 2011 harvest led to the first bottling of wine under the Babylonstoren label.
Description
This wine offers a refreshing palate with notes of guava, ripe pineapple, and winter melon, rounded off by subtle hints of gooseberries and Packham pear. It has a vibrant, fruit-driven character balanced by a streak of acidity, making it ideal as a summer wine.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc pairs well with seafood, roasted chicken with thyme, summer salads, quiches, and gravadlax, thanks to its acidity and bright fruit profile.
