Tasting Note: This wine displays fresh tropical fruit on the nose with grassy aromas characteristic of the Marlborough region. There is a passionfruit entry on the palate coupled with citrus and wild cape gooseberry. Mouthwatering acidity keeps this white fresh and crisp. Ideal balance, with a texture that will match well with food but is equally enjoyable on its own.
Enjoy With: This wine is great with scallops or try it with a fresh goat cheese salad.
Dry / Sweet: Dry, white wine.
Terroir / Region:
Many of New Zealand's most fragrant and flavoursome wines originate in Marlborough's pebbly, flat plains. Abundant sunshine and a dry autumn climate allow this region's Sauvignon Blanc to benefit from a long, slow ripening period that intensifies flavours.
Producer: From humble beginnings in the Northland kauri gum fields early last century, Babich Wines have become one of New Zealand's most respected wineries. Their reputation for making excellent wine extends beyond New Zealand's shores. Today Babich is one of New Zealand's largest family-owned wine companies, and a new generation is continuing what Josip Babich began back in 1912.
