The wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Marlborough appellation, known for its cool climate and unique terroir. The vineyards are situated on hillsides with varying soil types, which impart distinct flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is elegant, with a medium body, and showcases flavors of red fruit, spice, and earthy notes. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Astrolabe Province Pinot Noir is a gorgeous expression of New Zealand's unique terroir.On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe cherries, violets, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, it is light and delicate, with bright cherry and raspberry flavors and an elegant touch of spice on the long finish. It is an alluring and complex wine that should be enjoyed with food, or on its own.
