The Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a standout example of the classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc style, known for its fuller, riper, and softer profile that continues to develop beautifully with age. This wine is a reflection of Babich Wines’ dedication to quality and consistency, sourced from the estate vineyards and select growers across Marlborough. The grapes are picked at perfect ripeness, then carefully crushed and pressed to preserve the fresh and tropical fruit flavors unique to this renowned region.
The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at varying temperatures to capture the vibrant freshness of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. A small portion was fermented wild, adding depth and complexity to the wine’s character. After extensive tastings and blending by the winemaking team, the wine was lightly fined and bottled, ensuring its purity and expression.
The 2024 Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc presents a delicate bouquet of green apple, gooseberry, lime, and mandarin, with a hint of nectarine that adds a subtle touch of sweetness. On the palate, the wine offers a juicy, full-bodied blend of sweet herbs, citrus, and blackcurrant, with a lively finish featuring zesty lime and refreshing mineral notes. The result is a beautifully balanced and expressive wine that is both refreshing and complex.
This wine is ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes such as grilled seafood, fresh salads, or goat cheese, where its vibrant citrus flavors and crisp acidity will shine. It is also perfect as a refreshing standalone option for warm-weather sipping.
With a 90-point rating from the Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Competition and a Gold Medal from the CWSA, the Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a highly acclaimed wine from a family-owned and operated winery that remains estate grown and certified organic.
