Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc 2008
IWSC (UK) '08 “Champion Sauvignon Blanc”
Sydney International Wine Show, Blue Gold
Winestate Magazine Best of Style

White & red currant leaf, gooseberry, lemon grass, jalapeño & lime peel aromas. Medium to full-bodied with strong gooseberry & currant flavours, a hint of freshly-cut red capsicum, & a refreshingly smooth lingering finish. Best enjoyed when young and fresh.
"Astrolabe produced a real winner last year, but this wine is head & shoulders above it" 90/100 Bob Campbell, MW, Gourmet Traveller Wine.
"Astrolabe is no stranger to international success...its done it again in 2008, which is no surprise as this is another stellar sauvignon that's a riot of gooseberry, currant, fresh herbs & citrus, with a pure minerally elegance" NZ Herald
Astrolabe Voyage Pinot Gris 2008
Winestate Magazine 
Sydney International Wine Show Blue Gold Award
Easy drinking wine with a fine minerality and delicacy of structure with an aroma/bouquet of poached pears & quince jelly, & a background of nougat. Pear, quince & peach flavours dominate. Will age gracefully over the next four years.
Astrolabe Experience Riesling 2007 (375ml)
This wine is very rich in apricot & citrus aromas. Sumptuous sweet fruit, with apricot & citrus peel flavours, & a honeyed texture. This wine will continue to develop rewarding flavour & bottle complexity with ageing, but is showing the most pronounced varietal characters in the first blush of youth!
"Intense dessert wine with masses of honey, root ginger & tree fruit/apricot flavours. Soft, luscious & very accessible. Good value botrytised riesling from a producer that consistently offers top wines at good prices." 90/100 Bob Campbell, MW.
Astrolabe Voyage Chardonnay 2006
Some ripe melon & dried stone fruits, with a honeyed, buttery lift & a subtle mealiness. A wine of very elegant texture with stonefruit flavours, pleasing weight & long dry finish.
“Vibrant Chardonnay with tangy citrus flavours & subtle winemaking artifact. Nice fruit purity & length." 84/100 Bob Campbell, MW.
