Astrolabe Wines Aromatics Range Marlborough Pinot Gris 2024 raventos-de-alella enriched by light garnet reflectionsAstrolabe was the name winemaker Simon Waghorn gave his new venture because of its historical links with the Marlborough region and the connotations of exploration and adventure. Their Pinot Gris is a fine aromatic wine focused on minerality and structure rather than overt fruit opulence.
