Babylonstoren Semillon

A dry, wooded white wine with layered citrus, nectarine and vanilla custard notes, complemented by fresh acidity and a lingering finish.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw with flecks of gold. Aromas of citrus, nectarine and vanilla custard are joined by honeysuckle, toasted almonds and beeswax.

Silky in texture, with fresh acidity and a long, lingering finish.

Why You’ll Love It

The silky texture and fresh acidity provide clarity and length, making this wine a fitting partner for rich seafood dishes and aromatic spice.

Fermentation in French oak barrels and 10 months of maturation add depth to its citrus, nectarine and vanilla custard profile.
