Babylonstoren Viognier 2022

Babylonstoren Viognier 2022 is a white wine with a gold tinge. Its bouquet consists of succulent white peach, apricot and apple blossom aromas. The subtle oak spice adds creamy depth and complexity, enhancing the ripe-fruited characteristics that make Viognier so distinctive. It glides over the palate with a lovely balance between the floral quality and rich texture.

Ideally paired with mild, creamy curries, dishes with ginger, saffron and coconut or fruity dishes such as chicken or lamb tagine with apricot.
