A shining example of the versatility of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is a showcase of its ability to create wines with depth and character. As soon as you open the bottle you're struck by its rich, complex aroma of crushed nettle and dried sage, its palate gives over to generous tropical fruit and it finishes long, lean and crisp.

Spicy at first with leather notes. It develops blackcurrant and toasted aromas. Full bodied, smooth tannins, a crisp acidity.

Aromas of lemon curd and crushed almonds with supporting notes of grapefruit. There are aromatic notes too, notably Asian lily and citrus blossom. The palate is pure and focused with a line of acidity bring all of the structural components together. Finishing rich and long.

Dark red, purple hues. Amazing dark berry fruit in the raspberry black currant spectrum. The spice notes of Syrah are to the fore in this wine with a white pepper and Chinese five spice. As is Askerne's style, the fruit was aged in oak to accentuate the savoury notes and introduce aromas of vanilla and toast. The palate is especially vibrant with a line of acidity knitting the fleshiness and structural components together. Excellent concentration and vibrancy with a long finish.

Aged in French barrels for 12 months creating a soft earthy nose with blackcurrent aromas developing nicely. Ingratiate yourself with sweet varietal fruit and a lingering dark chocolate promise.

Lively and unexpected, the Aromatics range demonstrates the potential of Marlborough to bring out exciting character in cool-climate aromatic grapes. In NZ, the varietal is generally called Pinot Gris rather than Pinot Grigio and encompasses a wide range of residual sugar levels and styles. Astrolabe Marlborough Pinot Gris is a nod towards some of the more aromatic, finer examples of northern Italian, higher altitude Pinot Grigio as well as referencing a little the wines of Alsace, but it's pretty much a Kiwi style - a Marlborough style. Pear, quince and peach flavours dominate. An aromatic, crisp and precise wine, and stylistically dryer than most. A beautiful food wine that pairs with a wide range of food.

Lively and unexpected, the Aromatics range demonstrates the potential of Marlborough to bring out exciting character in cool-climate aromatic grapes. Astrolabe's Marlborough Rosé is a blend from across multiple Marlborough sub-regions. It's pretty pale peach blush colour comes from minimised skin contact. On the nose you'll find apricot, peach and orange blossom. The palate is fresh and dry with bright red apple, red current and rose petal. A stylish, fresh and dry-style Rosé that is excellent as an aperitif or matched with prosciutto wraped melon, buttermilk-fried cauliflower, and delicate fish with sea salt.

In the Province range, Astrolabe emphasises the varietal intensity created by Marlborough's leafy vineyards, ripe fruit and cool-climate winegrowing conditions. Astrolabe Chardonnay combines elegant texture with a tight structure. The natural stonefruit and citrus flavours are complemented by aromatic complexity and texture creating an elegant, dry and mouth-filling wine. Stone fruit, vanilla creaminess, toasty oak, pleasing weight and a long, dry and mineral finish. The length and subtle power and will satisfy those who mainly come to the category of Chardonnay with a background in drinking white Burgundies.
