Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc

Dry, crisp, medium-bodied South African white wine, it's hard not to love this Chenin Blanc. Our winemakers aged a total of 10% of the chenin blanc blend in Nomblot cement eggs and terracotta clay amphorae, resulting in a light and crisp dry wine with refreshing notes of guava, pineapple and winter melon flavours, rounded off with a hint of fresh gooseberries and Packham pear undertones.


Preferably drink within one year of production.



Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Babylonstoren

Babylonstoren is a working farm in the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands, near Franschhoek. Dating back to 1692, this historic Cape Dutch fruit and wine farm was skilfully reimagined by its current owners in 2010. Vineyards were among Babylonstoren's original crops, and today winemaking remains one of the farm's main artistries. The wines are produced in a state-of-the-art winery that integrates both new and traditional winemaking techniques.

After 12 hours of skin contact, the grapes underwent soft pressing, after which three weeks’ cold fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. It was racked off the fermentation lees and kept on the secondary lees for four months before bottling. 10% of the total chenin blanc blend was aged in Nomblot cement eggs and terracotta clay amphorae.
