Description
In a nutshell:
A lively and well structured Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from the Kekerengu Coast area.
The lowdown:
The mild spring and cool winds of this fast emerging sub-region give it the longest growing season in Marlborough which coupled with the limestone soils give a unique savoury character to the wines. Aromas of lime zest and pink grapefruit preced the full bodied, round and concentrated palate with a generous amount of peach and tropical fruit flavours.
The Producer:
Named after the ship that in 1827 charted and explored the Marlborough Coast, Astrolabe Wines is the project of winemaker Simon Waghorn and his wife, Jane. Their winery is situated in the centre of the Wairau Valley, Marlborough's beating heart between the towns of Renwick and Blenheim. Here, they produce a range of wines that express the unique intensity of flavours afforded by the climate and soils of the region and all their fruit is sourced from sites carefully chosen to achieve their desired level of complexity and completeness. Simon is fascinated by the distinctive qualities of the area's sub-regions and he uses his skill and experience very effectively to capture the real essence of Marlborough.
When to drink:
A rewarding wine to drink as an aperitif and it also goes well with oysters, shellfish and lobster.
