2022 Babich Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand

GW says: From one of New Zealand’s most respected wine families, Babich Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a full-bodied white bursting with notes of guava, passion fruit, tangerine, and lemon zest. Vibrant acidity is balanced by an elegant, crisp mineral finish and delicate floral nuances. 

Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Headwaters Vineyard, Wairau Valley

Appearance: Pale straw with green highlights, bright and clear in the glass.

Aroma: Lifted and expressive nose of tropical fruits — guava, passion fruit, and ripe tangerine — layered with lemon zest, fresh herbs, and subtle floral notes.

Palate: A full, vibrant palate with concentrated fruit flavours and crisp, refreshing acidity. Citrus and tropical notes dominate, supported by a distinct mineral backbone and a long, clean finish.
