    2021 Province Sauvignon Blanc, Astrolabe

    £2250

    Astrolabe’s Province Sauvignon is a vibrant, minerally Marlborough Sauvignon and one of the best Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs available today.

    Fruit for the Province Sauvignon was grown in vineyards located in the Awatere Valley sub-region of Marlborough. It was harvested in cool evening conditions to preserve freshness and vitality and lightly pressed with minimal skin contact to let the pure juice do the talking.

    In the glass, aromas of lemongrass, lime peel and passionfruit, with background notes of whitecurrant and red pepper.   The palate is medium-bodied with white peach, tropical fruits and citrus flavours and a fresh, dry mineral finish.

    2021/22 Kekerengu Coast Sauvignon Blanc, Astrolabe

    £2495

    The story of the Kēkerengū Coast Sauvignon Blanc is really defined by where it is: outside of the typical bounds of Marlborough. It is grown on limestone soils, which are not seen in the Wairau or Awatere Valleys. Kēkerengū is a narrow stretch between sea and mountain, and its extreme maritime climate has a profound influence on the wine, with an early budburst and late harvest. This combination of different soil and climate from the rest of Marlborough gives a very unique expression of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

    This 2021 vintage is dry, bone dry.  Wafting from the glass are aromas of citrus pith, lime and grapefruit zest and hints of jasmine tea, fennel and basil.  The palate is intense with flinty, almost salty notes and passionfruit flavours.  It has a lovely briny, salty, savoury finish which speaks a bit about the sea nearby. It’s a great wine with oysters on the half shell, and it’s a wine that really appeals to a lot of people around the world that would normally profess not to be huge Marlborough Sauvignon drinkers and may have more European drinking sensibilities.    Will develop in the bottle – drink now to 2028
