Babiana is made predominantly from old Chenin Blanc vines planted in 1986.

Its age and low yield ensure consistent quality and concentration, which forms the backbone of this blend. The fullness of the Chenin is tempered by the verve and high aromatics of the Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Roussanne.

The Chenin is whole bunch press and no Sulphur added to promote wild yeast development.The Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Viognier are destemmed and cold fermented for 8 days on the skins before being basket pressed directly to barrel to complete fermentation. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and is matured 12 months on the lees before being racked, blended, and bottled.
