Drop of the Day – Babich Wines Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Founded in 1916 by Croatian immigrant Josip Babich, Babich Wines proudly stands as New Zealand’s oldest family-owned winery. For over a century, three generations of the Babich family have been at the helm, blending a passion for their craft with a commitment to a slow, careful winemaking process that delivers wines known for their unique elegance, sophistication and easy drinking appeal.
In the renowned Marlborough region, known globally as the benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc, Babich Wines offers its own distinct interpretation of this beloved varietal. The Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is produced in a fuller, riper, and softer style that develops well. This wine is clean, fresh and tropical, with fruit harvested from several vineyards throughout Marlborough, capturing the best of the region.
Babich Wines champions sustainability, leading by example by having the county’s first vineyard certified as sustainable. This reflects their proactive commitment to responsible winemaking that safeguard the environment for future generations.
Perfect for any occasion, whether it is a quiet meal at home or a gathering with friends and family, Babich Sauvignon Blanc is sustainably crafted to elevate any moment with a touch of sophistication and joy.
