Babich Sauvignon Blanc - Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Marlborough 

Winemaker: Adam Hazeldene

Vintage 2009

Aroma This wine has a bouquet that is bursting with passionfruit, sweat, gooseberry and red current

Palate The palate is rich, sweet fruited and complex with layers of guava, passionfruit and gooseberry. The acid/fruit balance is excellent with a lovely herbal flinty character and a lingering perfume on the finish. This is a reason why Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is so famous. Enjoy!

Food Match Great with seafood or fish meals. Try with fresh oysters!

Cellaring Best enjoyed while young

Reviews:
"Weighty, dry wine with strong, ripe flavours of passionfruit and lime, rich and rounded.  This is not a "leap out of the glass" herbaceous style, but it offers great drinkability."
