Babylonstoren Nebukadnesar 2021

R790.00

Region: Paarl

Tasting note:

Wondrous graphite and cedar element which seamlessly incorporates every other component – brambles, spiced black cherries, blueberries, plums, origanum, thyme, fresh walnuts and a beautiful floral element of violets and pansies.The velvety tannins produce ripples of sappy freshness and bring texture and context to the fruit; sleek, supple and sinuous. This opulent wine befits its royal name and has all the attributes of greatness. Deceptively easy to drink now but will grow in stature and complexity over the next ten years.

Babylonstoren is one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms, set on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain between
the wine-growing areas of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl. Their wines are produced in a state-of-the-art winery and are made to showcase the soils and climate where the grapes are grown. Led by cellar master Charl Coetzee and winemaker Klaas Stoffberg, the farm’s 2011 harvest led to the first bottling of wine under the Babylonstoren label. Ninety-four hectares are under vine and produce thirteen different grape varieties, with the highest vines – pinot noir and chardonnay – lying against the Simonsberg at some 600m above sea level. The soil composition on the estate is a combination of Klapmuts/Longlands type soils of Malmesbury shale origin as well as Oakleaf and Hutton type soils of Cape granite origin.
Blend: Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Petit verdot, Cabernet franc and Malbec.
