Tasting Notes
Babich Sauvignon Blanc is an expressive white wine from Marlborough, which impresses with its vibrant aroma and finely structured texture. On the nose, mandarin, black currant, cantaloupe, and a hint of spices unfold, underlined by delicate mineral notes.
On the palate, the Babich Sauvignon Blanc is vibrant and complex, with a soft lime entry that quickly connects with riper citrus notes and floral accents. Green kiwi, apple, and a hint of sweet spices linger. The fine texture and medium lightness carry the fruit aromas throughout the entire length of the palate – an elegant, well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
