Babylonstoren Viognier 2018, South Africa

South African white wine with layers of fresh peach, dried apricots, and blossom over a creamy-smooth palate.

Babylonstoren Viognier is a dry, full-bodied white wine from Simonsberg, South Africa. It's 100% Viognier with 14.5% abv. Suitable for Vegetarians.

Charl Coetzee, Cellar Master at Babylonstoren, has created a truly unique South African Viognier. The packs of flavour in this wine come from fruit harvested on the foothills of Simonsberg, a region surrounded by Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl in the Western Cape. 70% of the wine is fermented in stainless steel while the remaining 30% is divided to ferment in second- and third-fill French oak, adding creaminess to the palate. A floral nose combines with ripe stone fruits on the palate to make a satisfying Viognier with plenty of weight and depth of character. Enjoy!

Pairs beautifully with: Emma's yummy Courgette, Pea, Feta & Mint Frittas recipe, oven roasted chicken with rosemary and thyme, pasta bake, vegetable biryani or shellfish, particularly mussels.

Cheese pairing: Jarlsberg or goat's cheese.
