"A bright, lucid nose of lime, lemongrass and snap peas—with dried green herbs and bell pepper behind—makes for a punchy start. It shows lovely balance between texture and acidity, with oh-so-typical NZ Savvy B flavors right to the finish. A solid example of this famed style from a consistently good producer." -CP, 5/1/25

"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc leads with the typically leafy, green-gauge nose of coriander, crushed sea shells, green apple and brine. In the mouth, the wine is intensely tropical but tempered by a maritime freshness and levity through the finish. It's a breath of fresh air, this wine. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."-EL, 12/19/24

"If you’re looking for a bit of all the best bits of Marlborough, Astrolabe's 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough ticks the boxes in a harmonious, let-it-be way. It offers roundness and texture with fresh, balanced acidity and bright notes of pineapple, mint, passion fruit and lemon. This is really well put together. It's clear winemaker Simon Waghorn knows what he's doing." -RG, Mar/2025

"There's wonderful depth to the core of lemon sorbet and lime zest, with a touch of Asian pear. Shows off toasted herb notes of lemon basil, thyme and lemongrass alongside crushed rock minerality. Drink now. 5,000 cases imported." -MW, 6/30/25
