Babylonstoren Sprankel 2020

Babylonstoren Sprankel is praised for its vibrant citrus and green apple flavors, complemented by brioche richness and fine bubbles. While some appreciate its lively and refreshing nature, others find it lacks complexity for discerning palates. The wine's dry, effervescent character and nuanced minerality make it suitable for social gatherings and pairing with seafood. It shows aging potential, especially in Madeira cask vintage.

Babylonstoren Sprankel is a captivating expression of South African Méthode Cap Classique. Its pale straw hue with fine, persistent bubbles sets the stage for a nose of green apple, brioche, and delicate white florals. The palate is a harmonious blend of crisp acidity and creamy texture, revealing layers of lemon zest, almond, and subtle minerality. The finish is elegantly long, marked by a whisper of saline and a hint of toasted hazelnut. This sparkling wine exemplifies finesse and balance, making it a benchmark for quality in the Cape's sparkling wine offerings.
