JOEL GOTT SAUVIGNON BLANC 2021

Established in 1916, Babich has evolved as a major producer, now the oldest family owned winery in Marlborough, A sustainable production and a willingness to invest in the future ensures that this approach will continue to deliver fine wines which fully reflect the fruit of the variety and the terroir of the land.

The cool year has resulted in more grass/hay fruit characters. The colour is perfect, lots of luminous green tints. There are citrus notes to the aromas as well. Lighter, fresh lime and lemongrass flavours on release as a young wine.

The land has to be loved, protected, and cared for. We are its guardians: we want to make it profitable, not exploit it. Because, in that way, its fruits thrive all the more, and the quality of the wines that we obtain from them also continues to grow. Our members are small-scale farmers: they are familiar with every inch of their vineyards, and they know just when and how to intervene in order to obtain the best from their grapes. And we, the cooperative, help them with agronomical and oenological support, investing in specialist personnel and in production technology.

The Azienda Uggiano was originally set up by a group of Bergamo businessmen with a passion for Tuscan wines and inspired by a wine expert, Giuseppe Losapio. In 1976, the vineyard expanded and settled at San Vincenzo a Torri, a beautiful location in the heart of Tuscany, nestled in the countryside in the midst of monasteries, churches and country villas.
