Babich Black Label Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Babich Black Label Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Crafted with food in mind, the Black Label wines have been grown on estate owned vineyards and made in a style that is slightly richer and more textural.

Passionfruit - Green Apple, Concentrated

After harvest at Babich’s Marlborough vineyards, the grapes are quickly crushed and pressed into stainless steel tanks, where most of the juice was fermented at a range of temperatures to capture the intense varietal flavours. A small portion of juice was fermented in old oak barriques to contribute to the weight and complexity of the wine. After extensive tasting trials by the winemakers, the wine was then blended, finished and bottled. The result is a wine with lifted and perfumed aromas with smoke and citrus blossom overlaying notes of blackcurrant and gooseberry. A lush sweet fruited entry full of exotic green fruits leads into a big hit of passionfruit with blackcurrant and gooseberry following on from the nose. Driving, juicy and balanced.
