"Aromas of sweet lemon and honeysuckle, with apple and lime notes and some minerality. Round, juicy palate with flavours of ripe limes and lemonade, sherbet and sweet apple, with some honeyed notes and a clean finish."

4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"The deliciously harmonious 2020 vintage was estate-grown at Grovetown, in the lower Wairau Valley, partly hand-picked, and stop-fermented to produce a distinctly medium style (44 grams/litre of residual sugar). Light lemon/green, it is freshly scented and light-bodied, with ripe, citrusy, peachy flavours, showing excellent delicacy and vigour, gentle sweetness, lively acidity and loads of current-drinking appeal."

Rated Excellent to Outstanding, Mark Henderson, ODT, April 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Florality, white flowers, apple, honey, citrus zest. Quite fat in the mouth with a marvellous sweetness-vs-acidity yin and yang thing going on. Grapefruit, apple, honey, lemon, hard candy, the flavours dancing on the palate. Vibrancy and life to this, great flavour depth and a long, racy, honey-flecked close. Becomes more rounded with aeration."

Astrolabe crafts wines that epitomise focus, purity, and balance, capturing the full intensity of Marlborough's landscape and climate. Jane Forrest-Waghorn shares that their family’s wine journey spans multiple regions, with daughters Libby and Arabella now joining the Marlborough-based winery. Living in a century-old house on their vineyard, they emphasise sustainable practices and family involvement, ensuring uncompromising quality.

All grapes come from ten families dedicated to sustainable farming, some relationships extending over two decades. These growers understand the land’s rhythms, with vineyards selected for their unique flavours across Marlborough’s sub-regions. Winemaker Simon Waghorn, with four decades of experience, has set a benchmark for sauvignon blanc. His meticulous approach defines Astrolabe wines as focused, balanced, and elegant.

Named after an ancient navigation tool, Astrolabe symbolises exploration and discovery, reflecting Marlborough’s history. Committed to sustainability, their operations are certified by Sustainable Winegrowing NZ, and their organic vineyards are certified by BioGro New Zealand.

Astrolabe is also certified net carbon zero through Toitū, continually working on reduction measures and offsetting to maintain carbon neutrality. As a founding member of Appellation Marlborough Wine, Astrolabe ensures their wines are of genuine Marlborough provenance, marked by the AMW icon.
