Babich Wines

Babich Wines is New Zealand’s most experienced family owned winery. We have been proud producers of fine New Zealand wines since 1916, when Croatian immigrant Josip Babich produced his first vintage. Over a century on, our family business has three generations of winemaking experience behind it, 14 vineyards in New Zealand’s finest wine regions, and a passion for winemaking as a way of life. We are a global export business (currently exporting to over 50 countries world-wide) but have never lost sight of the importance of family, farming and the winemaker's craft. We make wines that are worth drinking; wines to be shared and enjoyed with friends and family. We are renowned for creating award-winning New Zealand wines. The result is a range of stylish, refined wines with easy drinking appeal. We produce all main varietals including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and many more. Each is crafted from the best New Zealand winemaking regions. Being New Zealand’s most experienced family owned winery we have the luxury of high vineyard ownership and therefore have high control over grape quality. This reflects positively in the end product with high consistency to style (e.g. tropical in Sauvignon) and high consistency of quality.
