The palate is crisp and energetic, delivering layers of tropical fruit, kaffir lime, and juicy citrus balanced by lively acidity and a clean, mineral finish.

Working with growers across the region's renowned subregions—including the Wairau, Awatere, and Southern Valleys—Astrolabe crafts wines that reflect the distinctive character of each area. Fruit is harvested from multiple sustainably farmed vineyards and fermented primarily in stainless steel to preserve freshness, purity, and aromatic intensity. Widely respected by sommeliers and wine professionals, Astrolabe has earned a reputation for producing Sauvignon Blancs with greater texture, complexity, and regional character than many of the region's larger commercial producers. Wine lovers looking to buy Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc will recognize it as one of Marlborough's benchmark family-owned wineries and a consistently outstanding expression of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astrolabe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47425610285227,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/7160\/6699\/files\/FV0HmW1SQ6qvAtWhqBabDA_pb_600x600_52e3e325-1697-4beb-8c97-aab29b35b4ee.png?v=1784327566","url":"https:\/\/whistlerwine.ca\/products\/astrolabe-wines-sauvignon-blanc-750ml","provider":"WhistlerWine.ca ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
