2025 Babich Wines Black Label Sauvignon Blanc 750ml
Overview
Babich Black Label Sauvignon Blanc is a rich, well-rounded expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, crafted specifically to complement food. Ripe tropical fruit and citrus are balanced by fresh acidity, mineral character and a gently spiced, persistent finish.
Winemaking
The fruit was crushed, destemmed and quickly clarified before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Fifteen percent was fermented with wild yeast, with fermentation temperatures ranging from 13°C to 21°C. Fifteen percent underwent malolactic fermentation, while a portion of the wine was stirred on lees after fermentation for a minimum of four months.
Producer Tasting Notes
Sweet gooseberry, grapefruit and lime with garden herbs and slate.
White spice and mineral drive into a sweet-fruited, creamy mid-palate, touched with feijoa, guava and gooseberry. Passionfruit and pineapple give a bright, mouthwatering edge. Medium weight with a creamy texture. Zesty and lingering.

90/100 — James Suckling
“Clean and juicy, showing ripe white berries, lemon pith and white flowers on the nose… bright acidity coming through, this finishes flavorful and fresh.”
