"Bright, fresh and concentrated Sauvignon Blanc with punchy regional and varietal flavours including capsicum, nettle, gooseberry, melon and subtle passionfruit. A deliciously accessible wine that delivers everything I expect from Marlborough Sauvignon... and more" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Nov 2018
"This skilfully crafted regional blend is a fully dry style. A very harmonious wine, it is fresh and weighty (13.5% alc/vol), with lees-ageing notes adding complexity and strong, vibrant, tropical-fruit and herbaceous flavours" Michael Cooper, Michael Cooper's Buyer's Guide
Pale straw with green highlights. Lemon grass, lime peel and elderflower, with background notes of white currant and red pepper. Medium-bodied with white peach, gooseberry and citrus flavours, and a dry mineral finish. Very enjoyable when young and fresh; will age gracefully with careful cellaring.
The Astrolabe Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes grown across three Marlborough sub-regions — the Wairau Valley, the Awatere Valley and the Kekerengu Coast.
Winemakers machine harvest the grapes at night or in the cool parts of the day to preserve the purity and intensity of flavours. In the winery, they take great care to handle the fruit in a way which allows the flavours and aromas of the region to come through.
Food Pairing: Fresh, leafy green salads; seafood of all types; and dishes with lifted, aromatic herbs.
