The 2024 Babich Black Label Pinot Gris is a rich and expressive Marlborough Pinot Gris crafted to deliver texture, complexity and food-friendly elegance. Partially fermented in oak barriques, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe pear, nectarine and stone fruit, layered with hints of ginger, spice and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity and impressive depth, showing flavours of baked apple, toffee and citrus with a lingering spicy warmth. The style is dry, opulent and beautifully balanced, offering more richness and complexity than typical Pinot Gris styles.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent premium Pinot Gris for customers who enjoy fuller-bodied aromatic whites with texture and savoury depth. Rich yet fresh, it’s highly versatile and particularly food-friendly, making it ideal for customers looking for something beyond standard crisp whites. Best enjoyed now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with scallops, seafood, creamy risotto, roast pork or Asian-inspired dishes.
