93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
Long considered one of New Zealand's finest wine producers, Astrolabe has developed a reputation most of the other premium Sauvignon players would give their right arm for. The 2024 vintage is yet another beauty. The previous vintage picked up plenty of superb reviews and we're sure that this new vintage will follow suit. This wine is simply as good as Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc gets. Ethereal. Balanced. Simply divine.
Vegetarian and Vegan friendly.

The winemaker, Simon Waghorn writes "This is a drier style of sauvignon blanc, acidity kept nicely in balance with the alcohol and the very little residual sugar that is there, so it’s all about how all these things come together to make a pleasurable whole. I craft my wines so that nothing stands out as one singular spike, instead revealing a lovely layering of flavours and aromas that people can keep finding as they spend time savouring the glass."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Pungent and fruity with a core of tropical fruits from mango to passionfruit, lemon and fresh herbs. Dry with a decent palate squeeze from ripe acidity, flavours reflect the bouquet plus white peach and fruit spice."

Hands down one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I've ever had!
