Winery	Babich has a heritage that is rare in New Zealand, with their history long predating the viticultural boom of the last thirty years. Croatian immigrant Josip Babich made his first wine in Auckland in 1916 and one hundred years later, his descendants are still going strong – the third generation of the family, David Babich, now holds the reins. They boast an impressive 449 hectares under vine, spread across thirteen vineyards in Auckland, Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough, supplying the vast majority of the grapes that go into their wines. This long history does not prevent them from thinking of the future. In 1987 their Fernhill Vineyard in Hawke’s Bay was the first to be sustainably registered in New Zealand, whilst the 57-hectare Headwaters Vineyard (the source of Mara Sauvignon Blanc) has been certified organic since 2013. This commitment to the environment continues to this day, enacted through their practices in both the vineyard and the winery
