mehrere Informationen

The Vondeling Babiana is a wonderfully complex white wine cuvée with a delicate straw-yellow colour in the glass. A bouquet of roasted almonds, sweet cashew nuts, Turkish honey, fragrant lime zest, fine apricot and orange marmalade, wild honey and tropical pineapple pampers the nose. On the palate this white wine presents itself fresh, lively and well textured with a weighty density and length. Nuances of oatmeal, white pepper, floral jasmine blossoms, mint, ginger and creamy lemon meringue combined with subtle oak tones make for a truly delightful experience.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were hand-picked at optimal ripeness and upon arrival at the winery they were first subjected to a 24-hour cooling phase. The Chenin Blanc is pressed all over the bunch without the addition of sulphur. The resulting juice was immediately transferred to barrels for natural fermentation to give the wine maximum structure, complexity and ageing potential. Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier were completely destemmed and subjected to an eight-day cold swelling phase on the skins before going into the basket press where the juice was pressed directly into the barrel and fermentation was completed. All the grape varieties completed the malolactic fermentation and then matured on the lees for 10 months, before the wine was blended and bottled for final consumption.
