Description
Astrolabe is a small family wine business owned and run by Simon Waghorn and his family in Marlborough, New Zealand. Simon is one of new Zealand’s most accoladed winemakers with a reputation for making “terroir” focused Sauvignon Blanc as well as Pinot Noir. Astrolabe Pinot Noir is well-balanced with refreshing acidity and silky tannins, it is fragrant with a purity of ripe wild berry fruit that makes this wine sing across the palate. 11 months in French oak adds a smoky complexity on the lingering finish.
Tasting Note
Delicious flavours of plum, brambly fruit & dark cherry, along with a hint of smoky oak which integrates nicely with the fruit and the silky tannins.
