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 Babylonstoren Shiraz 2022 pours a dark ruby red, exuding aromas of dark fruits, notably blackcurrant, complemented by nuances of oak and white pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied and finely balanced, with a soft texture and an intense chocolate flavor, leading to a lingering finish.
Food Pairing
This Shiraz pairs wonderfully with dishes such as steak in pepper sauce, duck breast, or game, complementing the wine's rich and spicy profile.
