Babich 'The Patriarch' 2018 Hawkes Bay Chardonnay and rich berry fruits leadingThe Patriarch is Babichs flagship red wine, grown on their Gimblett Gravels Irongate vineyard in Hawkes Bay. This blend contains Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. The nose is darkly perfumed and warm with nutmeg and cedar notes. The palate is fleshy and full with dark plums and sweet tarry notes. Tannins bind red floral aromatics to the palate and stretch the flavours through onto the lingering finish.
