Pressing news: It's harvest time at Babylonstoren

It’s harvest time on the Babylonstoren farm, and we're eagerly anticipating the new vintages.

Harvest 2024 update

There's a special atmosphere on the Babylonstoren farm during the annual grape harvest, and it's more than just the sweltering Boland air. The excitement peaks with the year's first pickings – Chardonnay grapes for Sprankel and our 100% Chardonnay.

Already fermenting in their tanks are some blocks of our Mouvedre that will be transformed into a brand-new blushing rpse for the 2024 RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Our vignerons are also bottling the Nebukadnesar 2022, our flagship Bordeaux blend. It will now have ample resting time in the bottles before it is released later this year.

Now is the perfect time to see the winemaking process from up close on a guided cellar tour in Babylonstoren’s underground wine tasting room.

Wine Club Botanical Collection 2024

We're particularly excited about this year's Wine Club selection, which includes four exceptional red wines that will be available to members only. Each wine will take you on an excursion to the special botanical collections, including the Spice House, clivias, cycads, and succulents.

The first Wine Club excluded, included in the March delivery, is the Marselan 2022. This brooding red combines the finesse and quality of Cabernet Sauvignon with the vibrant colour and resilience of Grenache.
