Babylonstoren Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Babylonstoren Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 opens with rich, dark berry fruit at its core and a savoury edge of wild herbs, graphite and cedar. The wine is dense and brooding with plump blackcurrant fruit moderated by a backbone of fine-grained, grippy tannins, creating lovely tension and succulence. Beautifully balanced and stylish with classic cultivar expression. The savoury finish is long and satisfying.

Perfect with ribeye steak, grilled or slow-cooked lamb with rosemary and thyme, braised beef short rib, char-grilled cheese burgers, mature cheddar and gouda, and creamy blue such as gorgonzola.
