Astrolabe Kekerengu Coast is a wonderfully concentrated, tropical-style of Sauvignon Blanc from the Taihoa and Sleepers Vineyard of the Kekerengu Coast sub-region of Marlborough.
The grapes for the 2018 vintage were hand picked and harvested at night and the cool parts of the day in order to maximise freshness and purity of flavour. A small portion of the wine was barrel fermented to add subtle texture and complexity.
"Tangy, chalky and quite concentrated sauvignon blanc, with punchy aromatics suggesting gooseberry, lime, capsicum and restrained passionfruit. Bright, fruity acidity adds freshness and energy." Bob Campbell MW
