The very best of Babich. Poised, powerful, and always at home at the head of the table. The Patriarch is Babich's flagship red wine crafted in honour of the winery founder and New Zealand wine industry pioneer, Josip Babich. Light floral, smoky notes over complex almond, blackberry and plum aromas. Presents initially with a savoury, umami hit that opens into fruit cake with Christmas spices. Layers fresh berries with black Doris plum. Complex, elegant and dense. Warm and lingering.
