Babich
Marlborough Pinot Gris
2026
Fresh with a fruity grin — pear and subtle spice, bright, supple, and perfectly poised.
Babich Marlborough Pinot Gris
Crafted from vineyards positioned throughout Marlborough comes this rich, full bodied Pinot Gris. This stunningly juicy wine is dry in style, offering red apple, pear, stone-fruit and spice flavours with a soft, elegant finish.
Tasting Notes
Fresh, vibrant and lifted with ginger, lychee and pear. Notes of lime blossom and nutmeg too.
Juicy entry with lovely weight and texture. Sweet apple, pear and apricot explode onto the palate and carry through with persistence. Mineral notes join on the finish. Primal yet complex.

Winemaker Notes
Fruit was harvested from vineyards in the Waihopai & Wairau Valleys. After some skin contact the fruit was pressed. A portion of the juice spent 48hrs stirring on lees prior to clarification to build mouthfeel. Fermented in tank.
Food Pairing
Roast pork belly with a spiced apple and pear chutney or Roasted pumpkin and ginger laksa with crispy tofu.
