Babylonstoren Nebakadnesar

Varietal Blend: Red blend made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon. Other Bordeaux varietals may include Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec.

Appellation: Western Cape, South Africa

Complexity: Richly layered and complex tasting experience with aromatic depth, a harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and earthly elements, and a well-integrated oak influence.

Finish: The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark fruit, tobacco, and spice. The tannins gently fade, leaving behind a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste.

Color: Deep, inky purple with vibrant ruby edges. The wine looks dense and concentrated in the glass. 

Aroma: Intricate bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries, black currants, and plums. There is an earthy quality that adds depth, accompanied by a touch of spice (cloves, black pepper) and leather. Subtle hints of tobacco, graphite, and dark chocolate are also present, with a gentle undertone (violets), making the nose quite layered and complex.

Acidity: Medium to low. The lower acidity in this wine gives it a smoother, more rounded mouthfeel. 

Palate: Full-bodied and powerful with a firm structure. The fruit flavors are bold and ripe, primarily dark fruits like blackberries, cherries, and black plums. These are complimented by savory, earthy notes of leather, tobacco, and a touch of graphite, adding a rustic elegance. The tannins a robust, creating a smooth yet structures mouthfeel, contributing to the wine's aging potential. As you continue to sip, there's a subtle oak influence that brings out layers of vanilla, cedar, and a faint smokiness. 

Impression: The Babylonstoren Nebuchadnezzar is a wine for those who enjoy rich, full-bodied reds. Its bold structure and complexity make it a great candidate for aging, allowing the flavors to evolve even further over time. 

Food Paring: This wine would pair well with hearty dishes like roasted meats, grilled steaks or even a rich savory stew.
