Details

The Patriarch Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec Cabernet Franc 2016 is a true masterpiece from Babich, a family-owned winery with a rich heritage in the New Zealand wine industry. This flagship red wine is a tribute to the founder, Josip Babich, and is made with complete flexibility to ensure the best possible quality.

Babich's Gimblett Gravels 'Irongate' vineyard in Hawke's Bay provides the perfect terroir for this exceptional wine. The traditional winemaking process is followed with great care, and sustainability is at the forefront of everything they do. The result is a wine that is not only delicious but also environmentally responsible.

The Patriarch is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc, each variety contributing its unique character to the final product. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, adding complexity and depth to the already rich flavors.

Tasting notes reveal a deep ruby color with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long finish. The flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice are perfectly balanced, making this wine a true delight for the senses.

When it comes to food pairings, The Patriarch is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It pairs well with red meat, game, and strong cheeses, but can also be enjoyed on its own as a special treat.
