Babylonstoren Sprankel 2015

Colour: Straw yellow with slight greenish tinge.

Bouquet: Golden Delicious apple, green lollipop, tropical tones as well as gentle biscuit and brioche flavours from the maturation on the lees.

Taste: Fresh and well balanced with a very fine mousse and soft acidity. Delicious lemon and lime with beautiful minerality and a lingering, crisp finish.

Sprankel perfectly complements cheese, fruit, salmon, shellfish and caviar. The smoothness of this sparkling wine also works beautifully with poultry and seafood dishes with light, buttery sauces.
