Product Notes

Babich Black Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing and aromatic wine that has captured the essence of the Marlborough region, New Zealand. This wine has intense flavors that are reminiscent of freshly picked passionfruit, juicy grapefruit, and tropical fruits. The palate is crisp, with a well-structured acidity, which accentuates the delicious notes of the wine. It is dry and has a long-lasting finish that leaves a pleasant aftertaste. The subtle presence of herbs and a hint of mineral earthiness, make it a unique and flavorful wine to enjoy on all occasions. Its outstanding quality and flavors are attributed to the use of carefully selected grapes, modern winemaking techniques, and a unique terroir. Babich Black Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for pairing with seafood, grilled vegetables, or light summer dishes.

About the Winery

Babich

Babich is one of the most reputed wine names of New Zealand, because it is the oldest brand in the country. Its history dates back to 1912, when Joseph Babich understood the potential of the Marlborough region, considered as one of the premium wine-growing regions in the world today.

Currently, Babich grows grapes on some of the top-notch sites of New Zealand, like the ones below:
