Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc 2025

Pale yellow. Intriguing white peach and ripe pineapple fragrance with underlying lemon curd, which makes this wine hard to resist. Silky smooth entrance reveals many layers of supple fruit handled with care to retain the intrinsic chenin personality at its best. Beautifully balanced with a delicious streak of acidity which brings freshness and focus to the palate, making this ideal for summer drinking.

It will complement seafood dishes, roast chicken with thyme, composite summer salads, seasonal quiches and gravadlax.
