The name Astrolabe is an ancient instrument of navigation that measures the altitude of the stars. Pale lemon color with citrus notes and grassy herbal scents. On the palate peach, lemon citrus and melon flavors with vivid acidity. Medium+ finish ending with bright mineral character. Nice! — 3 months ago

Notes of spice, tobacco, even raisin. Thinner than some reds with some tannins right at the finish. A nice New Zealand red. — 4 years ago

Vintage 2012 / Good effort! A smell with some flowers, jasmin, flint and minerals. Expressive and beautiful smell. Juicy taste with high bitters and nice acidity, a good food wine. I paired it with a small waldorf salad, cantonese beef with eggs and tomato and cheese (cantal + blue). It worked out well for all. Good New Zealand riesling. — 6 years ago
