PINOT NOIR, 13.80%, Drinking 2023-2024, Organic“Dense, flavoursome pinot noir with black-fleshed plum, dark cherry, liquorice, wood smoke and spicy oak flavours. It’s a generously proportioned wine with succulent, ripe fruit flavours to the fore balanced by enough tannin influence to prevent it becoming a simple fruit-bomb. Drink 2022 to 2030.”
95 Points, Bob Campbell, Master of Wine The Real Review
“Complex, floral, fruity and new. Varietal with a core of dark red berry fruit and red currant, some natural fruit spice, red flowers, a mild savoury complexity and a distinctive mineral stone quality. Fantastic on the palate with a firm youthful texture, ripe tannins and youthful acid line. The savoury quality on the nose translates to the palate with intensity, contrasted by the core of fruit and generous mouthfeel. A lovely wine, very youthful and will need some cellar time. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2034+.”

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.
