Babich Sauvignon Blanc — Marlborough, New Zealand 2025
Babich is one of New Zealand's most respected family wineries, farming sustainably in Marlborough since the 1970s. Their Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is the quintessential expression of the region — vibrant, aromatic, and bursting with the tropical fruit and fresh herb character that put New Zealand on the world wine map. Sourced from multiple vineyards across Marlborough, it is crafted in a fuller, riper style that adds flesh and volume to the classic varietal profile without sacrificing freshness.
The nose is expressive and inviting: sweet citrus, passionfruit, papaya, and red currant layered with fresh herbs and a mineral undercurrent. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy, mouthwatering acidity, ripe blackcurrant and lime on the mid-palate, and a spiced, lingering finish. Clean, generous, and endlessly drinkable.
James Suckling 91 Points — "Fruity and delicious, showing limes, papaya and sliced almonds on the nose. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity. Round with a mouthwatering finish. Sustainable."

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.
Sweet citrus, red current and tropical fruits overlay fresh herbs and mineral elements.
On entry fresh tropical/ fruit salad fruits. The mid-palate adds juicy ripe citrus and blackcurrant with spice and lime joining and extending the finish. A wine with flesh and volume - a flavourful mouthful.
Rebecca Gibb Writes: The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough makes me think of a refreshing cocktail, with its gooseberry and elderflower notes meeting mint and passionfruit in this crisp, dry style. It's an excellent, juicy thirst quencher for slugging with friends, chilled on a warm summer's day. It's not going to change your life or give you any intellectual pleasure, but that's not its purpose. - Vinous
