From humble beginnings in 1916 – we’re a family owned business who have worked tirelessly and passionately over the years, learning all there is to know about making the best quality wine New Zealand has to offer – and taking it to the world. This wine has come from the very best and carefully selected wine growing land in New Zealand.
In pursuit of excellence, we leave no stone unturned. Every decision we make – from the purchase of land to the labels on bottles, and everything inbetween – is in pursuit of being the best and most advanced in our field. We are non-compromising on quality, and are guided by our deeply engrained values and beliefs, to deliver excellence and value to our customer.
Put simply, we love wine, it is our way of life. And, from a love of wine, along with a respect and connection to the land as a means for providing – Babich Wines was born. At just 20 years of age in 1916, Josip Babich made his first New Zealand wine – under the name Babich Brothers. With a legacy of solid farming practices in place and a desire to produce only the best quality of wine – created the foundations for what is Babich Wines today. Three generations of wine lovers, who all want to deliver to the consumer the best possible product, representing the best possible value, for every occasion.
