Product information "Babylonstoren Babel Red 2021"

The Babylon blind Babel Red is a brilliant red wine cuveè in Bordeaux style. It flows into the glass in an intense red and exudes aromas of sweet tobacco, fragrant pencil shavings, dark chocolate, mulberries and cherries. Delicious nuances of red berries and fine chocolate caress the palate. The finish is long lasting, pleasantly soft and smooth.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested separately and fermented on the skins for 7 days, followed by an extended maceration period of one week. The must was pressed in 30% new wood and 70% second and third filled barrels, where the malolactic fermentation was completed. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Shiraz and Petit Verdot varieties matured separately for 12 months in first- and second-filled French barriques before blending.
