Babylonstoren, Babel, Simonsberg, Paarl, South Africa, 2022

Rhône meets Bordeaux meets South Africa in this blend of Shiraz with Pinotage, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Mourvedre, Grenache Noir and Marselan. Big but balanced, with fruit-driven, spicy aromas. More spices on the palate, alongside red fruit – raspberry and baked plums – and a savoury note, with fine, firm tannins. Perfect for flavoursome chargrilled food.
