BABICH WINES
Adam Hazeldine, Senior Winemaker
What makes the Babich organic Sauvignon Blanc so special?
This succulent wine is full of personality – each sip takes you straight to the vineyard!
What is your favourite ‘other’ Sauvignon Blanc?
Lindauer Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. It's varietal, fun and a great go-to on a hot day. Good price also!
CARRICK WINES
Rosie Menzies, Winemaker
Favourite Carrick SB? The 2019 Bannockburn.
Favourite ‘other’ Sauvignon Blanc?
Domain Bersan JL & JC, Saint-Bris – mineral, textural and subtle. From Burgundy’s only appellation for Sauvignon Blanc – it brings alive memories from a wonderful harvest in 2008.
CLOS HENRI
Damien Yvos, Winemaker
Favourite Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc? Opening a bottle of our Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc and sharing it with customers, the team, family and friends will always be one of my favourite moments. At each sip, I reflect on the incredible journey Clos Henri has been over the last 20 years. We love its purity, finesse and minerality which shows how much Sauvignon Blanc can make wonders when it comes to expressing terroir… delicately.
Favourite ‘other’ Sauvignon Blanc?
We have many favourite Sauvignon Blancs; we just love this variety so much! I would
like to make a special mention of Mahi Wines and its winemaker Brian Bicknell. I always admired his devotion to making fine and elegant Sauvignon Blanc as opposed to bold and opulent. He always knows how to unveil the finesse that Marlborough can offer to Sauvignon.
