Babel 2022, Babylonstoren

This dry, full-bodied red blend offers a balanced fusion of black fruit and a savoury edge of cigar. Babylonstoren’s winemakers have aged each component in oak barrels to produce a soft mouth-feel and juicy, lingering finish that will leave you wanting more.

Ageing potential: Will age well up to 8 years.

Serving temperature: Room temperature, 16–18°C.

Food Pairing: Slow-cooked game or oxtail stews, barbecued boerewors, grilled lamb chops with rosemary or lightly spiced pulled pork shoulder.

Alcohol: 14% ABV
