Babich Marlborough Pinot Noir

Babich Marlborough Pinot Noir offers bright cherry and raspberry flavours on the palate, complemented by plum, earthy notes and a touch of cinnamon spice. The texture is soft and glossy with mouth-watering acidity. The nose reveals lifted aromatics of strawberry, cherry and violet florals with gentle vanilla and cedar from oak influence.

This wine is produced by Babich Wines, one of New Zealand's respected family-owned wineries, using grapes sourced from Marlborough vineyards. Marlborough's cool maritime climate and alluvial soils provide ideal conditions for growing elegant, fruit-forward Pinot Noir with classic varietal character.

Babich Marlborough Pinot Noir pairs excellently with grilled or roasted salmon, duck breast, and mushroom-based dishes like risotto. The wine's vibrant acidity and medium body also complement meaty fish preparations and dishes featuring earthy vegetables. The smooth texture and fruity profile make it versatile across a range of food styles.

This versatile Pinot Noir complements roasted duck, grilled salmon and mushroom risotto particularly well. The wine's cherry and raspberry fruit notes balance beautifully with the richness of these dishes, while its fresh acidity cuts through fattier preparations. It also works nicely with goat cheese and vegetable-forward meals.

Serve Babich Marlborough Pinot Noir slightly chilled at around 14u00b0C to showcase its delicate aromatics and fresh fruit character. This temperature is slightly below typical room temperature and helps preserve the wine's vibrant acidity. Use a large-bowled red wine glass to allow the subtle violet and cherry aromas to develop properly.
