Astrolabe Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc is crafted in Marlborough, New Zealand, by Astrolabe Wines, a family-owned winery established by winemaker Simon Waghorn. Known for highlighting distinct subregions, Astrolabe’s Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc captures the unique characteristics of this cooler, southern Marlborough area, where the influence of sea breezes and stony soils impart a crisp, mineral-driven profile to the wine. This dedication to terroir-focused winemaking has made Astrolabe a leader in showcasing Marlborough's diverse expressions.
Astrolabe Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc opens with vibrant aromas of lime, fresh herbs, and gooseberry, accompanied by notes of passionfruit and subtle minerality. The palate is refreshing and lively, with crisp acidity and flavors of citrus, green apple, and a touch of flinty character, leading to a clean, invigorating finish that reflects the wine’s cool-climate origins.
