Babich

In the early 1980s, Babich Wines was the first New Zealand winery to win a gold medal for pinot noir, and that legacy of excellence lives on in this Babich Pinot noir 2017. This soft and luxurious Babich Pinot noir 2017 is sourced from our 100% certified sustainable vineyards in the main Marlborough sub-regions, with delicate flavors of spice, plum, cherry and earth.

Food and wine pairing

The wine’s aromas of raspberry, plum and black cherry would harmonize beautifully with the richness and succulence of the duck breast. Notes of cocoa and cinnamon would add a further aromatic dimension, creating a complex and seductive palette of flavors. The smooth texture of the wine would perfectly complement the tenderness of the meat, while the subtle finish of wood smoke and dried herbs would bring a touch of sophistication to this pairing. All in all, a harmonious marriage that enhances the qualities of each component, for a memorable gastronomic experience.
