Description
A sumptuous full colour tribute to one of our great winemaking families.
In 1916, Josip Babich, aged 20, made his first wine from his own grapes at Kaikino in the far north of New Zealand. Six years earlier, he and a brother had travelled all the way from Dalmatia to join three older brothers working on the gum fields. Like them, Josip soon anglicised his name and described himself as a settler.
The Next Vintage tells the story of the Babich family, their early struggles, and their successful vineyards. Josip and his sons, Peter and Joe, and now David, Peter's son, have played leading roles in the development of the New Zealand wine industry from its early days to the significant export industry that it is today.
Babich Wines Ltd produces wines that have won many of the accolades available to vintners in this country and abroad. It exports to more than 40 countries. The family and the company are now woven into the fabric of New Zealand history, from Dalmatia to the northern gum fields, to their iconic vineyards in Henderson, Hawke's Bay, and Marlborough.
