Description
Coming from the family-run Astrolabe winery, this is a sublime expression of cool-climate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The Kékerengú Coast is a distinct region on the southern coast of Marlborough: a narrow stretch of limestone soil between the sea and mountains. This combination of location, soil, and climate is distinct from the rest of Marlborough, offering a unique expression of the Sauvignon Blanc grape.Award-winning winemaker, Simon Waghorn, crafts this stunning Sauvignon from two distinct vineyards along the Kékerengú Coast. A portion of the hand-picked grapes are fermented in oak barrels to give a unique and wonderfully textured wine. Expect lifted gooseberry, lemon, and green apple aromas. The palate is bone dry with a crunchy chalky minerality framing the just-ripe green berry fruit profile before a distinctly saline note on the finish, evoking the coastal location of the unique Kékerengú Coast vineyards.
