The Akarua vineyard is a unique site, measuring 52 hectares, 34.5 of which planted with vines. The estate is tucked into the foothills of the mountains rising above Kawarua River upstream of Lack Dunstan, in the midst of a breathtaking landscape. Located in Bannockburn in the Central Otago region, the vineyard occupies three west-facing terraces and enjoys intense sun all year round. This outstanding terroir lends remarkable character to the Pinot Noir in a reflection of the spectacular mountains surrounding the estate. Floral and spicy, it has a nose of raspberries and blackcurrant, while the pallet derives of black cherry.

Allan Scott's Estate Range celebrates the wines that started it all, showcasing the distinctive character of Marlborough through carefully blended fruit from vineyards across the valley. The Pinot Noir offers a bright, fruit-forward style, brimming with juicy cherry, strawberry, boysenberry, raspberry and ripe red plum flavours. Light on tannin with a soft, supple structure, the palate is generous and approachable, making for an easy-drinking Pinot Noir with plenty of character. Enjoy lightly chilled alongside tapas or soft white cheeses, or serve at room temperature with charcuterie, duck, pork or a rich, creamy pasta.

Highly aromatic with bright cherry and redcurrant, lifted red fruits coupled with savoury spice and dried herb offer an alluring and enticing nose. The palate is elegant and refined with fruit intensity matched with a supple and silky tannin structure.

Intense colour with bright purple hues. Vibrant black fruits with rich dark chocolate and subtle vanillin oak aromas. Medium to full bodies palate weight, characterised by satisfying tannins and savoury masculine finish. An ideal accompaniment to red meat and premium cuts of prime beef.

Sharing the same impeccable breeding as its big brother, the youthful exuberance of Wee Angus is revealed through the gentle plummy characters of Merlot. A subtle touch of vanillin oak and a generous finish combine to create the perfect accompaniment to your next barbeque.

Best served with pastas, barbecues, poultry, game, terrines and medium to strong cheeses; this wine will go very well with chocolate desserts too.

The Winemaker range showcases elements other than pure fruit, crafted with texture, complexity and ageworthiness in mind. These wines of tiny production are made from low-cropping single vineyards with a focus on organic viticulture and are vinified using traditional methods. Grown at Wrekin Vineyard in Marlborough's Southern Valleys, this fruit provides a lot of the structure to the larger Astrolabe Province blend, giving the darkest cherry and plum flavours and the muscular structure and tannin. Astrolabe have chosen to release this small production wine to highlight the individual expression of this site. Full, smooth, dark and brooding, with nutty, brambly fruit notes, mouth-filling tannins and a lingering finish.
