Babylonstoren, Viognier, Simonsberg, Paarl, South Africa 2022

A third of this wine was aged in large foudres and used barrels, the rest in stainless steel. Perfume and purity of fruit: ripe peach, apricot and honeysuckle all jostle for attention. Texture, warmth and weight from the oak, yet there's an overriding freshness which delights.
