Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"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."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Fragrant, varietal, quiet yet complex bouquet, aromas of apple tarte tatin, lemon and sweet white flowers. An off-dry expression with a plush and lush core of fruits and textures. Apples and lemon, white pomaceous fruits and flowers all reflect the bouquet. The acid line is powerful yet stealth in its wrap around the fruit approach. A lovely example with best drinking from 2026 through 2033+."

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.
