Its Origins

Astrolabe was created in 1996 by winemaker Simon Waghorn, the culmination of a career that began in South Australia in 1982. Winemaking later led Simon and his family from Te Kauwhata to Gisborne, where he specialised in Chardonnay, and eventually to Marlborough where in 1996 he and his wife Jane Forrest-Waghorn joined with old friends Paul Davenport and Sally Lewis to have a go at their own label…and so began Astrolabe. Today they work with a number of growers scattered all over Marlborough, from Awatere valley to the Kekerengu coast to the Wairau Valley, developing a wide portfolio of iconic wines that celebrate the varieties and terroirs of Marlborough.

What The Critics Say

94/100 Cameron Douglas

"Immediately enticing bouquet of lime and lemon, white flowers and white fleshed peach. On the palate - just dry with a whisper of residual sweetness which is hardly noticeable with the core of citrus and stone fruit flavours, acidity and mineral flint-like flavours. Very crisp and refreshing with a salivating saline effect leading to a dry finish. Delicious and drinkable from today with ideal drinking from 2024 through 2040."
