At Babich, wine awards have never been our main goal. We’ve just focused on making consistently good wine that we can proudly put our name on. Of course, over the years that dedication to quality has been noticed, and recognised at wine exhibitions around the world. In fact, we’ve consistently won top wine awards year after year. While we don’t go chasing awards, we’re pretty happy when they find us.
