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
The 2017 vintage of Babylonstoren Sprankel MCC displays a light straw hue with a youthful green tinge. Aromas of vibrant citrus and crunchy apple are complemented by rich notes of Granny's butter biscuits and brioche, a result of extended lees ageing. The palate is perfectly rounded and balanced, offering crisp acidity, ripe fruit, and a palate-cleansing mousse that invites another sip.
Food Pairing
This Cap Classique pairs superbly with simply prepared seafood dishes such as fresh crayfish or line fish with a beurre blanc sauce. Its crisp acidity and fine mousse also make it an excellent companion to shellfish, caviar, and light poultry dishes.
