Flinty, mineral character true to the quartz rock in which it is grown.

A true expression of the site’s terroir, this wine will drink well now, or can be enjoyed in the next 2-3 years.
Pairs with
Creamy dishes, white fish and risotto. as well as light truffle and blue cheese flavours.
Babylonstoren Chardonnay
Burgundy-style Chardonnay with a fresh, fine-grained nose of quince, lime and vanilla as well as a hint of nuts.

Pairs With
Enjoy with fresh seafood as well as chicken and pasta dishes, vegetables and fresh summer salads.

Lourens Family Vineyards Howard John
43% Cinsault, 43% Carignan, 14% Grenache.
No yeast, acid, enzymes or fining agents added. Wine was matured for 9 months in old French barrels. 100% whole bunch fermented.
Notes of lavender, marzipan, sweet red peppercorns but also violets and dried coriander seeds. While all very floral and lifted, there are also deeper, darker savoury notes of bresaola, cured meats, and red cherry spice. The palate is beautifully balanced and fresh, but shows impressive concentration of flavour. There are layers of sweet pithy red cherries, wild strawberry, sweet peppercorns, and raspberry ripple and the finish is rather enticing with pink stick candy and strawberry bon bons.
