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.
