The name Astrolabe was chosen for this New Zealand winery after the French explorer Dumont D’urville’s boat. Winemaker Simon Waghorn enjoyed the connection between exploration and adventure that could just as easily be attribute to the pursuit of winemaking. Simon explores the potential of soil, vines and climate and takes all those who try his wines on a vinous adventure. Thanks to a minimalist approach in the winery, Simon Waghorn transforms the region's grapes into stylish and expressive wines that have a cult following.

At Cracka wines we are suckers for Pinot Noir in all its guises and this one from Astrolabe pushes all the right buttons. Marlborough is starting to give Central Otago a run for its money with this variety and here’s some evidence. Winemaker Simon...
