Sourced from the sun-drenched slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, this 2024 Viognier is a bold and complex white that showcases Babylonstoren’s commitment to artisanal quality. To enhance its rich texture and depth, the wine was matured in French oak barrels, resulting in a sophisticated, medium-bodied profile with a striking gold tinge. The nose is highly aromatic, offering succulent notes of white peach, apricot and apple blossom, underscored by subtle oak spice and hints of liquorice and Turkish delight. On the palate, it glides with a silky balance between floral elegance and concentrated fruit. Ripe flavours of dried apricot and peach are complemented by a creamy depth that leads to a long, luxurious finish. This elegant Viognier is the perfect partner for fragrant dishes such as shellfish, mild creamy curries, or a traditional lamb tagine with apricots. Its remarkable poise and concentrated aromatics make it an exceptional choice for those seeking a fuller-bodied, aromatic white with true South African character.
