Astrolabe Kekerengu Coast Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Astrolabe Kekerengu Coast Sauvignon Blanc is a captivating and vibrant white wine that showcases the exceptional quality of Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Kekerengu Coast region of New Zealand. With its distinct flavor profile and meticulous winemaking, this wine captures the essence of the terroir and delivers a truly delightful drinking experience.
Grape Varietals & Region: Astrolabe Kekerengu Coast Sauvignon Blanc is crafted exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which thrive in the cool climate and unique soils of the Kekerengu Coast in New Zealand. The region's maritime influence and coastal breezes contribute to the wine's distinctive character.
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 sauvignon blanc.
Taste Profile: This Sauvignon Blanc enchants the senses with its lively and expressive flavors. It boasts a pale straw color and opens with vibrant aromas of tropical fruits, citrus zest, and fresh herbs. On the palate, the wine delights with flavors of juicy pineapple, ripe passion fruit, and zesty lime, complemented by hints of minerality and a refreshing acidity. The wine's crisp and lingering finish leaves a memorable impression.
Winemaking Process: Grapes were machine harvested in cool conditions, de-stemmed and lightly pressed with minimal skin contact. Clear juice was tank-fermented at low temperature using neutral yeast strains to allow the powerful fruit flavours to dominate. I blended in a portion of whole bunch pressed, high solids, and wild yeast barrel ferment to add subtle texture and complexity..
The winemaker behind Astrolabe wines is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of New Zealand's diverse wine regions. With a deep understanding of the terroir and a commitment to sustainable practices, the winemaker brings a wealth of expertise to crafting wines of exceptional quality and expression.

Astrolabe Wines
Astrolabe translates to 'star-taker'. When career winemaker Simon Waghorn wanted to start his own label in 1996, he chose the name Astrolabe because of the historic ties with Marlborough, and he liked the connotations of exploration and discovery.
