Astrolabe Wines
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc



The name Astrolabe is an ancient instrument of navigation that measures the altitude of the stars. Pale lemon color with citrus notes and grassy herbal scents. On the palate peach, lemon citrus and melon flavors with vivid acidity. Medium+ finish ending with bright mineral character. Nice!

This highly rated #marlborough #sauvignonblanc proves NZ wines like this need not be one-dimensional high-acid quaffers. Grapefruit, elderflower, grassy and herby aromas on the palate. Yes, there’s a big wave of tart green fruit up front but layers continue on the palate with a bit more luscious concentration than typical for the region. Delicious.

2022 Vintage with seafood dinner. Notes of grass and herbs, not real fruity for a Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp and dry, but not my favorite.
