Babich is the most experienced family-owned winery in New Zealand, producing wine in the country since 1916. The founder of Babich Wines, Josip Babich, came to New Zealand from the Dalmatia region, now in Croatia, where the tradition of winemaking reaches 2,500 years of history. His son Peter joined his father in the family business at just 16 years old, later joined by his brother Joe, and eventually passing the business on to Peter’s son David. Since then, the Babich family has made it their passion, livelihood, and future, and three generations of invention, success, and winemaking expertise throughout three superb winemaking regions are there to prove it.
Their wines are distributed all over the world, and Babich believes that they can give back by setting the standard for sustainably grown and produced New Zealand wine for another 100 years and beyond. Even after a century of being on the market, they keep pushing their objective to convey the family’s enthusiasm through perseverance, experience, and good old-fashioned wisdom rather than turning into another big corporation.
The Babich is proud to produce some of the most drinkable New Zealand wines in the world, demonstrating the true regional character of each variety, and all that without compromising on quality. Some of their best Sauvignon Blancs are produced in the Marlborough region, and the flagship red wine comes from the pioneering vineyard at Hawke’s bay. With a touch of refinement and adventure, these wines showcase the well-known New Zealand flavours that consumers all over the world are familiar with and adore.
Babich Awards
The contribution of the Babich family to the New Zealand wine industry was celebrated in 2015, when Peter and Joe Babich were inducted into the Wine Hall of Fame of the Royal Easter Wine Show. Although the family never made winning awards a priority, naturally, their commitment to excellence has been acknowledged throughout the years at wine shows all around the world. They continually take home top wine awards from Decanter World Wine Awards, International wine and spirit competitions, New Zealand wine shows, and many others.
