Astrolabe, Marlborough, New Zealand
CHARDONNAY, Drinking Now 2020A juicy, chewy Chardonnay produced from the free run juice of four different varietal clones. The nose is Burgundy-esque but with additional caramel aromas. It is very broad and powerful in the mouth, running a bit hot. Autumnal flavours of toffee apple, lime and cinnamon drench the palate, finishing in a striking, very slightly rustic, acidity.

Named after a 19th-century explorer's ship, family-owned Astrolabe is Simon and Jane Waghorn's voyage into winemaking exploration in New Zealand's Marlborough region. The estate is rightly celebrated for wines that express the variety of their soil and the nuances of their terroir: from the Wairau and Awatere Valleys to the unique conditions of the Kekerengu Coast. Astrolabe wines reflect the Waghorns' innovative treatment of specific parcels and winemaking process to capture undiscovered qualities of individual grape varieties, resulting in some of the most pure and elegant wines from the region.
