Tasting Notes
“Plush, fleshy, fruity and varietal with aromas of tropical fruits and fresh herbs, an abundance of wet stone mineral scents and white blossom. On the palate – equally fleshy and fruity, crisp, refreshing and just dry on the finish. Flavours of lemon and passionfruit, apple and fresh herb. High acidity – almost sweet to the taste, plenty of mineral and floral layers. Just dry on the finish. A lovely example, balanced and well made. Best drinking from today and through 2023.”

“Ripe, deliciously fruity sauvignon blanc with melon, guava and citrus-lime, together with smattering of fresh herbs. A creamy-textured wine with good weight and a lingering finish. Textbook Marlborough sauvignon.”

The Producer
Astrolabe
Astrolabe Wines is a family-owned and -operated business, established by Simon Waghorn and his wife Jane in 1996. The winery was named after a ship L’Astrolabe that was used to explore the Marlborough coast in 1827 by French explorer Dumont d’Urville. The name also stands for “star taker”—a navigational device used to ascertain latitude by the position of stars. The Founder Simon, having 36 years of winemaking experience, intends to capture the purity and intensity of fruit flavours as offered by the Marlborough terroir. The grapes are sourced from carefully chosen sites and wines are sustainably crafted adhering to rules under the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand program.
