Astrolabe ‘Valleys’ Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2016 $24 

Simon Waghorn has crafted a capsicum and lemongrass-laden lovely that if you’re lucky enough to still see this on the shelf, then you should definitely buy it and buy large.  The bruised basil and lime notes merge with green nectarine, peach and passionfruit to create a brisk, bracing sauvignon that’s developing nicely indeed.  Drink now to 2019.
