Astrolabe Beacon Hill Southern Valleys Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 $40 
There is nothing about crafting great Sauvignon Blanc that winemaker Simon Waghorn doesn’t know. He’s basically the Obi-Wan Kenobi of New Zealand Sauvignon. The Gandalf of the good stuff. In his new Beacon Hill vintage, prepare for a fragrant tsunami of freshly-shelled sugar snap peas, basil, lucerne and lemon. Heap in some red capsicum, apple, and lime, and you’ve got an absolute modern classic that tingles the tongue. Elegantly styled, cleansing and crisp, I suggest dialling up your fish & chip shop for two fish, a mussel fritter, a crab stick, and two salty scoops! Drink now through 2027.
