New Zealand White Wine 75 cl Bottle

Astrolabe's award winning winemaker, Simon Waghorn, has crafted a fantastic Sauvignon Blanc from fruit grown in the Waihopai, Wairau and Brandcott Valleys. Picked in the cool evening to retain acidity and freshness, it is pale straw in colour with green highlights. A fresh aroma of lemon grass and lime peel precedes a panoploly of citrus fruit flavours. Refreshing, cool and with a smooth lingering finish. IWSC International Trophy Champion Sauvignon Blanc in 2008.

Named after the famous ship, The Astrolabe, which visited the Marlborough region in the 1800s and discovered the regions` significant beauty and potential. Today its namesake has captured these qualities and created a distinctive range of wines. Nurturing the attributes of the soil, vine and climate and combining these with his minimalist approach in the winery, Simon Waghorn transforms the regions grapes into stylish and expressive wines. Already with a cult following, wines from Astrolabe offer excitement and exclusivity. One of New Zealands foremost award winning winemakers.
