Astrolabe

Astrolabe is a family-owned and run winery headed by experienced winemaker Simon Waghorn. Simon founded Astrolabe in 1996, with the first pinot noir produced from young vines in the Waihopai Valley in 1998. Astrolabe produces a regional blend from sites in the Southern Valleys of the Wairau Valley down to the limestone-rich Kēkerengū Coast as well as single vineyard expressions. Expect a focus on brighter-spectrum fruit flavours, embracing Marlborough’s potential for intensity of fruit.
