Babich
Marlborough Pinot Gris
2024
Fresh with a fruity grin — pear and subtle spice, bright, supple, and perfectly poised.
Marlborough Pinot Gris
Tasting Notes
Pungent with sweet apple and pear notes leading into lime and a hint of stone fruits and nutmeg. Exuberant.
Pear and ginger immediately apparent leading into baked apple and lingering lime. Lush and creamy with good breadth and focus.

Winemaker Notes
Fruit was harvested from vineyards in the Waihopai & Wairau Valleys. After some skin contact the fruit was pressed. The juice spent 48hrs stirring on lees prior to clarification to build mouthfeel. Fermented in tank.
Food Pairing
This Marlborough Pinot Gris works well with snapper fillets, rolled in fresh breadcrumbs and shallow fried, or with hot baked ham and glazed kumara.
