Babylonstoren Mourvedre Rose 2026 750ml
Babylonstoren Mourvèdre Rosé 2026
Fresh, elegant and bursting with summer berries, this is Babylonstoren's take on a classic Provence-style rosé. It is crisp and dry, and made on Babylonstoren, a historic Cape Dutch farm in the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands.
The Mourvèdre grapes ripen in the sunshine on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain, which gives the wine its vibrant, mouthwatering fruit. Strawberry and rose petal lead on the nose. The palate follows with red berries, fresh watermelon and crushed pomegranate, lifted by a refreshing streak of acidity.
