Tomorrow 4-6pm we'll be tasting three wines from Bablyonstoren with Nadine Maruszczak who represents the winery in the Midwest. We'll be tasting their Chenin Blanc, Babel Red Blend and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Chenin Blanc, A crisp and refreshing wine with lovely guava and melon flavours for the hot summer months. Soft pressing, cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 3 weeks. Racked of fermentation lees and kept on thin lees for 4 months before bottling.
Babel is a dry, full-bodied red blend offers a balanced fusion of black fruit and a savoury edge of cigar. The blend is made up of 53% shiraz, 19% pinotage, 8% cabernet franc, 6% merlot, 5% malbec, 3% petit verdot, 3% mourvèdre, 2% grenache noir, and 1% marselan.
Cabernet Sauvignon: This complex, full-bodied red wine is a stellar wine fit for any celebration. Rich, dark berry fruit at its core and a savoury edge of wild herbs, graphite and cedarwood shavings. Grapes are picked from eight different vineyard blocks. Matured in a combination of 40% new and 60% second- and third-fill 300 litre oak barrels for 18 months before being bottled and matured for three months prior to release.
