Lively and unexpected, the Aromatics range demonstrates the potential of Marlborough to bring out exciting character in cool-climate aromatic grapes. In NZ, the varietal is generally called Pinot Gris rather than Pinot Grigio and encompasses a wide range of residual sugar levels and styles. Astrolabe Marlborough Pinot Gris is a nod towards some of the more aromatic, finer examples of northern Italian, higher altitude Pinot Grigio as well as referencing a little the wines of Alsace, but it's pretty much a Kiwi style - a Marlborough style. Pear, quince and peach flavours dominate. An aromatic, crisp and precise wine, and stylistically dryer than most. A beautiful food wine that pairs with a wide range of food.

In the Province range, Astrolabe emphasises the varietal intensity created by Marlborough's leafy vineyards, ripe fruit and cool-climate winegrowing conditions. Astrolabe Chardonnay combines elegant texture with a tight structure. The natural stonefruit and citrus flavours are complemented by aromatic complexity and texture creating an elegant, dry and mouth-filling wine. Stone fruit, vanilla creaminess, toasty oak, pleasing weight and a long, dry and mineral finish. The length and subtle power and will satisfy those who mainly come to the category of Chardonnay with a background in drinking white Burgundies.
