Drop of the Day – Babich Wines Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Founded in 1916 by Croatian immigrant Josip Babich, Babich Wines proudly stands as New Zealand’s oldest family-owned winery. For over a century, three generations of the Babich family have been at the helm, blending a passion for their craft with a commitment to a slow, careful winemaking process that delivers wines known for their unique elegance, sophistication and easy drinking appeal.
In the renowned Marlborough region, known globally as the benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc, Babich Wines offers its own distinct interpretation of this beloved varietal. The Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is produced in a fuller, riper, and softer style that develops well. This wine is clean, fresh and tropical, with fruit harvested from several vineyards throughout Marlborough, capturing the best of the region.
Babich Wines champions sustainability, leading by example by having the county’s first vineyard certified as sustainable. This reflects their proactive commitment to responsible winemaking that safeguard the environment for future generations.
Perfect for any occasion, whether it is a quiet meal at home or a gathering with friends and family, Babich Sauvignon Blanc is sustainably crafted to elevate any moment with a touch of sophistication and joy.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
