Tasting Notes:
Babich Marlborough Pinot Noir offers aromas of dark cherry, plum, and raspberry with hints of dried herbs, mushroom, and anise. The palate is fruit-forward, with flavors of plum, cherry, and a touch of blackberry leaf, complemented by a balanced fruit, acid, and tannin structure. The finish is long with lingering complexity.
Winemaker Notes:
Sourced from Babich’s estate vineyards in Marlborough, the fruit was fermented in open vats with a mix of wild and inoculated yeasts. After a period on skins, the wine underwent oak maturation for six months, resulting in a wine with layers of dark fruits, spice, and subtle earthy notes.
Food Pairings:
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with beef and lamb dishes or a steak and mushroom casserole.
