Astrolabe Savignon Blanc 2008

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.

4 stars "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

Winestate Magazine 5 stars
Sydney International Wine Show Blue Gold Award

Astrolabe  Voyage  Pinot Gris 2008

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)

Astrolabe Experience Riesling 2007

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!

4 stars "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

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.

3 stars “Vibrant Chardonnay with tangy citrus flavours & subtle winemaking artifact. Nice fruit purity & length." 84/100 Bob Campbell, MW.
