Babylonstoren Sprankel 2020 750ml
Babylonstoren Sprankel 2020 Méthode Cap Classique
Celebrate with Sprankel 2020, Babylonstoren's sparkling wine. It is made in the traditional Méthode Cap Classique style on one of South Africa's best-known Cape Dutch farms, in the heart of the Cape Winelands.
Sprankel is crafted from Chardonnay. Its second fermentation happens in the bottle, and it then rests on the lees for an extended period. That gives it a fine, persistent mousse and real depth. Expect bright citrus and green apple on the nose, lifted by toasted brioche and almond. The palate is crisp and creamy, with a long, elegant finish.
