The Babylonstoren Viognier 2020 is a lush white wine from South Africa’s Western Cape, crafted by the Babylonstoren estate from 100% Viognier grapes. This 2020 vintage displays a bright gold hue and an opulent nose of ripe apricot, peach, and honeysuckle, with hints of spice and subtle minerality. The palate is rich and rounded, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, refreshing finish with a touch of oaky complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the granite and shale soils of Simonsberg-Paarl. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a sophisticated dining experience. Best enjoyed young to capture its vibrant fruit, it can evolve over the next 3-5 years, developing richer, spicier notes. This Viognier showcases Babylonstoren’s expertise in crafting quality South African whites with depth and elegance, appealing to enthusiasts seeking a bold yet refined white wine for special occasions.
