Babylonstoren Babel Red Blend - 2025 (750 ml)

A blend of Shiraz, Pinotage and Bordeaux grapes including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc.

The cultivars were harvested separately and made separately. Fermentation took place on the skins for around seven days, after which it was given an extended maceration period of about one week. The wine was then pressed into 20% new and 70% second- and third-fill 
300-litre French oak barrels, as well as 10% in 4200-litre French oak foudres.  After malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked and then returned to the barrels to total 12 months of maturation before being bottled. 

COLOUR Deep, glossy red with slightly paling meniscus. 
BOUQUET Sweet aromatic spice from well-judged oak provides perfect support to 
the plump, fruity core.
TASTE Succulent and juicy with layered plum and black cherry fruit lifted by pepper 
and liquorice. Stylish and accessible with a seductive finish inviting another sip.
