Product Notes

Astrolabe Marlborough Pinot Noir is a distinctive New Zealand wine that presents an exquisite balance of aroma and flavour. With its rich ruby hue, this wine exudes a distinctive bouquet cluttered with ripe cherries, plums, and a hint of spice that's irresistibly disarming. On the palate, its character is artfully complemented with nuances of charred oak, damson, and blackberry that transcend into a refined, velvety texture. Enhanced by tannins that are smooth yet expressive, the Astrolabe Pinot Noir concludes with a lasting, savoury finish, making it a superb companion to a variety of dishes.

Tasting Notes

COLOUR/APPEARANCE - Bright deep garnet. AROMA/BOUQUET - Ripe dark and red cherry, brambly fruits, spice and leather, with a hint of smoky oak. PALATE - A full-bodied wine with round, mouth-filling flavours of plum, brambly fruit, dark cherry and a hint of savoury herbs. The oak integrates nicely with the fruit and the silky and linear tannin structure.
