Babylonstoren
The Michelangelo International Wine & Spirit Awards announced their winners and our king Nebukadnesar 2014 was crowned with a Michelangelo double gold!

The flagship Bordeaux blend is set to be a classic with an intriguing fragrance of violets and thyme. Dry and full-bodied, it is a well-balanced wine with a spicy warmth and intense undertones of blackcurrant and tobacco. Nebukadnesar also boasts a double platinum from the National Wine Challenge, counted as one of the top 100 wines in SA for 2016 and a gold from the 2016 Vitis Vinifera awards. Best enjoyed by royalty while nibbling on Black Forest ham and Stanford cheese.

Next to Nebukadnesar sits on the throne the spicy Shiraz 2014 also crowned with a Michelangelo double gold. Matured in French oak, this wine has a surprisingly fresh midpalate with cherry and soft prune dark flavours and a hint of spice. With a gold at the 2016 Terroir awards, silver at the International Wine Challenge in London, and Top 12 at the Shiraz SA Challenge, it surely promises a memorable taste.
