AboutBabich Wines
Babich Wines began in 1916, when Croatian-born Josip Babich made and sold his first New Zealand wine in the northern gumfields. The family moved to Henderson in 1919, and Babich is now led by chief executive David Babich. The winery draws on its own vineyards and long-standing grower relationships across Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Auckland.
Babich 2025 Black Label Sauvignon Blanc
Passion fruit, citrus and blackcurrant lead, with fresh herbs and a subtle mineral note bringing definition. The palate is concentrated yet lively, combining ripe tropical fruit with bright acidity and a gently rounded texture. A long, clean finish keeps the wine poised and refreshing, with enough depth for grilled prawns, goat cheese or herb-led chicken dishes.
Babich 2025 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Passion fruit and grapefruit open with blackcurrant, citrus and a fresh nettle-like lift. The palate is juicy and vibrant, carrying tropical fruit over a cool slate note and clean acidity. A lightly herbal edge keeps the ripe fruit precise, while the crisp finish stays bright and direct. Well suited to shellfish, summer salads or fresh goat cheese.
