Babich Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough Black Label 2025

Babich Wines holds a unique position as New Zealand’s most experienced family-owned winery, with a legacy stretching back over 110 years. While many of Marlborough’s heavyweights are corporate-owned, Babich remains a multi-generational labor of love founded by Josip Babich in 1916. Their iconic status isn’t just about longevity; it’s about their pioneering foresight and making delicious, highly scored wines that people can’t get enough of.

They were among the first to recognize that Marlborough wasn’t a monolith, strategically securing prime real estate across the Wairau, Waihopai, and Awatere Valleys long before the region became a global sensation. This early entry allowed them to pick the “best seats in the house,” providing a foundation of mature vines and superior sites that younger labels simply cannot replicate. They’re playing with a stacked deck!
