Astrolabe 'Valleys' Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand 2022 Affordable Bordeaux crisp but tremendously complex onPale straw with green highlights. Focused aromas of jalapeno, nettle, lime zest, lemongrass and fresh herbs. A linear, pure wine with clean flavours of currants, gooseberry and citrus. Finishes savoury, crisp and dry. Very enjoyable when young and fresh.
