Babylonstoren Sprankel 2019

Luminous, light golden colour with tinges of green. Expressive bouquet of ginger, green apple, candied citrus and quince evolves into richer notes of brûléed apricots, brioche and toasted nuts. Initial notes of the fine, creamy mousse is followed by a wonderful vinosity balanced by delicate acidity.

Delicious on its own but will be superb with simply prepared seafood dishes such as fresh crayfish or line fish with a beurre blanc sauce.
