Babich Black Label Sauvignon Blanc (2025)

Founded in 1916, Babich is one of New Zealand’s oldest family‑owned wineries and a pioneer in sustainable, quality‑driven winemaking. Based in Auckland with key vineyards in Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay, the Babich family has spent more than 100 years refining a style that’s pure, vibrant, and unmistakably New Zealand.

Sweet gooseberry, grapefruit and lime with garden herbs and slate. White spice and mineral drive into a sweet-fruited, creamy midpalate, touched with feijoa, guava and gooseberry. Passionfruit and pineapple give a bright, mouthwatering edge. Medium weight with a creamy texture. Zesty and lingering.

Can be enjoyed with a variety of food. Serve it with veal, seafood (brilliant with oysters) or a chicken dish such as a mild chicken korma with crispy poppadoms.
