A “giant” of New Zealand’s wine industry was farewelled in February, with the passing of Peter Babich, aged 92.

Craigmore Sustainables has added to its viticulture portfolio with the purchase of a 418-hectare development site in Marlborough.

Babich Wines is sponsoring the Sustainable Coastlines Trust to support communities around New Zealand to clean and protect local beaches and waterways.

Petar and Iva Babić are the “heroes” of the Babich Wine story, having sent six of their seven young sons to forge a life in New Zealand.

After more than a century making great wine, Babich Wines has begun to harvest its stories as well.

It was 1973, wine was on the front page of the Auckland Star because there was an export order.

Recently I received a book written by Michael and Judith Bassett, that outlines the history of the Babich family's 100 years within the New Zealand wine industry.

The Royal Easter Wine Show 2015 broke with tradition, honouring two members of one family simultaneously as inductees to its Wine Hall of Fame; a recognition of the contribution of a single family, in its 100th year, as it was of individuals.
