Babylonstoren Mourvèdre Rosé 2024

An elegant, dry wine of a sophisticated salmon colour and delicious hints of raspberries and rose petals. A single sip leads to the delightful discovery of crushed pomegranate, the sweet freshness of watermelon and a subtle punch of acidity.

With its face to the sun and its feet in the water, this witty cultivar will spark the creative senses and leave you with a lingering mouthfeel.

The perfect partner with trout, salmon or sushi.
