Babylonstoren Candide, Simonsberg-Paarl, South Africa 2024 Case (6x750ml)

Details

Candide is a blend of all the white cultivars grown at Babylonstoren. The chardonnay was fermented in second- and third-fill French oak barrels, before being blended with the fresh components. The chenin blanc and smillon were softly pressed, then underwent three weeks of cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The viognier and roussanne were aged in Nomblot cement eggs and terracotta clay amphorae. They were racked off the primary lees and kept on the secondary lees for four months prior to bottling. Perfect partner with spring vegetable dishes, chicken or ham salad with stone fruit.
