Babich
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
2026
Sunshine in a glass – with Marlborough swagger. Tropical, fresh and just a little bit softer around the edges.
Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
A classic Sauvignon Blanc with all the hallmark characteristics of Marlborough. Produced in a fuller, riper, and softer style that develops well, this wine is clean, fresh and tropical, with fruit harvested from several vineyards situated throughout Marlborough.
Tasting Notes
Pungent and expressive with musk melon, blackcurrant and passionfruit to the fore. Notes of mango and mandarin add a tropical lift, while garden herbs and green tea bring complexity and freshness.
Fresh and mouth filling on entry. The mid palate is juicy with lime, lemon and stone-fruits. Mineral and spice notes build through the palate and linger on the finish. Attractive and lip-smacking, with zesty energy and good volume.

Winemaker Notes
Grapes, predominantly from our own estates, were picked, crushed and pressed. The juice was fermented in stainless-steel tanks at various temperatures to capture the fresh flavours unique to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. After extensive tastings by our winemakers, the wine was assembled, lightly fined and bottled.
Food Pairing
Thai green curry with prawns or Goat’s cheese, asparagus and lemon tart.
