Babich Wines
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
This wine appears in the glass with a light green-gold hue. The nose gives a great citrus aroma, with lemons, limes and oranges in play. There is also a strong mineral note and a fairly intense herbal smell, but with a bit of a sweet edge to it. The palate has acidity that is fresh and invigorating. The flavors follow the tropical/citrus slant established on the nose. The mouthfeel is on the creamy side, despite the ripping acidity and the finish is lengthy. This wine will be a great match for a plate of oysters.

Tasted sweet after the amazing brut nature champagne. Nice though.

Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb floral notes, classic NZ. On the palate flavors of zesty sour green apple fruit flavors and some grassy tones, lively acidity. The wine finished with fruit, sweet herbs, grassy and mineral notes.

Zippy green apple, gooseberry, green banana, unripe pineapple, cut grass, chive blossom, white flowers. Good patio wine.

Crisp, zesty , medium minerality . A bit more subtle on the aroma than most NZ sauvignon blancs
