Babylonstoren has the second most visited gardens in the western cape and some of the most delicious wines there. I’ve been to the gardens and met the wine maker and cellar master, very nice guys and so knowledgeable.

If you look at my London wine fair blog from May 2019 you’ll find some of their reds .

This is their 2018 Mourvedre rose wine. Its fruit driven dry rose with aromas and flavours of strawberry, red berries and a clean fresh taste.  It has more flavour than a Provence rose and that’s not bad. Those extra flavours make it so drinkerable.

At £13 a bottle it’s a little pricy but you get what you pay for and no it doesn’t go with strawberries and cream scones, swooped out for Demi Sec sparkling from Vouvray pretty quickly and then drunk later.
