New Zealand Owner: The Babich Family Winemaker: Adam Hazeldine Founded: 1916 www.babichwines.com

Stylish, finely blended wines of a consistently outstanding quality are the signature of Babich. One of New Zealand’s largest family-owned wine companies, the winery was established in 1916 by Croatian immigrant Josip Babich when he and his brothers purchased a 72-acre property in Henderson Valley. Over the years, the family has become a premier producer of New Zealand wines, exporting to numerous markets around the world. With vineyards in Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough and Gisborne, Babich combines the craftsmanship of today with the experience won from years of pioneering viticulture and winemaking. Sustainable production and a willingness to invest in the future ensure that this approach will continue to deliver fine wines for generations to come.
