Family Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
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.
Tasting Notes
Sweet and inviting with notes of lantana, passionfruit. Very pungent. This is followed by citrus, slate and nettles.
Blackcurrant and tropical fruits explodes onto the palate - this is joined by green tropical notes and citrus. Mineral and spice linger of the finish with a dash of lime zest. Fresh and juicy.
Winemaker Notes
Grapes predominately our own estates were picked, crushed and pressed. The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at various temperatures to capture the fresh flavours unique to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. After extensive tastings by the winemakers the wine was assembled, lightly fined and bottled.
Food Pairing
This Babich Family Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc screams out for seafood (think fresh oysters)!
