A Marlborough, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Babich Wines, bottled at approximately 13% ABV. The 2022 vintage earned 93 points from Wine Spectator and was ranked number 21 on its Top 100 list for 2023. Fruit is drawn from three Marlborough sub-regions: Waihopai Valley, Awatere Valley and Wairau Valley.
Grapes are picked, crushed and pressed with minimal skin contact, then fermented in stainless steel tanks using multiple yeast strains. A portion undergoes malolactic fermentation before the final blend is assembled. The nose shows intense mango and nectarine with lemon blossom, sweetgrass and a mineral core. The palate is fresh and lively with lemon, lime and gooseberry, building to golden kiwifruit, grapefruit and honeydew melon. The finish is medium-long with pineapple and quince trailing into a spicy, ginger-tinged conclusion.
