Babylonstoren Sprankel

Toast the good times with this vibrant bubbly from Babylonstoren in South Africa. Made in the traditional method (also known as 'cap classique') of the finest sparkling wines, it offers bright citrus, apple and brioche notes, making it perfect for any celebratory occasion.


Sprankel is composed of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from some of Babylonstoren's finest vineyard plots. The wine's extending lees ageing in bottle really brings out the quality of the fruit, while adding layers of complexity and a glorious mousse of bubbles.


Straw yellow in colour, Sprankel's bouquet suggests ripe golden apple, zesty citrus fruits and biscuity-brioche notes. In the mouth it is fresh and fruity, with a lively crisp balance. Flavours of lime and grapefruit meld with more complex toasted almond and passion fruit undertones. The finish is long and clean, with minerality and freshness. Perfect popped now, or in years to come.


Sprankel makes a beautiful aperitif, served with roasted almonds and cheese straws, or enjoy it with salmon, shellfish and caviar. The smoothness of the wine also means it works well with poultry and seafood in buttery sauces.


Ready to be enjoyed straight away, with good ageing potential of eight to ten years.

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.
