Our favourite Babydoll wine picks of vintage 24!
It’s been an exciting time at Seaview with Spring showing signs of new life already.🌺 The wildflowers can feel the season change, slowly waking from their winter sleep between the bud bursting grape vines. Each day feels longer and brighter, butterflies are returning to the swan plants in Butterfly Gully, while the Babydoll sheep have been busy tending to their newborn lambs. We’ve been busy too… bottling our vintage 2024 wines.🎉
​Vintage 2024 was another one for the history books, with a hot, dry summer and low rainfall impacting the Marlborough region. Early spring frosts, cooler temperatures during flowering, and prolonged dry conditions meant the yield was smaller than usual. The good news is, these unique seasonal conditions have produced wines of exceptional quality that we are so excited to share with you.
Nat’s pick: ’24 Babydoll Rosé
I’m loving the new Babydoll Rosé, made from a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. It’s loaded with juicy notes of pomegranate, strawberry shortcake and it has a fresh and fruity palate. A perfect wine to share with friends enjoying a catch up on a sunny afternoon. I pair this with my favourite spring salad mix with goats cheese and a strawberry balsamic reduction to top it off. Yummo!
Ruby’s pick: ’24 Babydoll Sauvignon Blanc
The 2024 Babydoll Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of Wairau and Awatere fruit, giving us an excellent balance of tropical fruits and bright herbals. This wine perfectly captures the vibrant, lively and cheeky personalities of our babydoll sheep at the Seaview vineyard. The Babydoll Sauvignon Blanc pairs great with fresh seafood, chicken salads or grilled haloumi. A deliciously different combination as we head into the summer months! ​
We hope you enjoy our new wines!
Love,
Babydoll Sauvignon Blanc
