AWARDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Influential wine magazines have also awarded great accolades to Babich Wines, for example U.S.A. Wine Spectator Magazine – 90 points and Best Buys two years in a row for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2005 and 2006; and more recently in 2010 - 90 Points for the Black Label Sauvignon Blanc 2009 and Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2008.
