This Pinot Noir offers a well-balanced harmony of berry fruitiness, a moderate touch of spice, and the smokiness of oak barrels. It also possesses the characteristic power of a New World wine.
It pairs perfectly with dishes that allow you to enjoy beef in a light way, such as thinly sliced beef stir-fried with mushrooms in oyster sauce or beef simmered with umeboshi (pickled plum). It also goes well with lamb.
Renowned for its excellent balance
Marlborough is New Zealand's largest region for Pinot Noir production. The hallmark of its wine style is, above all, its powerful fruitiness.
This Pinot Noir crafted by Astrolabe likewise features distinct nuances of fruit, such as raspberry, strawberry, and dark cherry.
Interwoven within these are subtle spicy notes and the smoky flavor of oak barrels, all in well-balanced harmony.
However, the fruit remains the protagonist. It also has that typical New World power.
The grapes are a blend of Pinot Noir from multiple sub-regions. It is made with great care, fermented using wild yeast and aged in French oak for 10 months.
With an alcohol content of 13.5%, it offers a pleasant, long-lasting finish supported by this level of alcohol.
With a slightly matured character, this Pinot Noir is perfect to drink right now!
Recommended Pairings
For this wine, I recommend light dishes using thinly sliced beef.
Pairing it with lighter cuisine really brings out the fruitiness of the Pinot Noir.
Beef simmered with umeboshi
Since the wine itself has a degree of acidity, it matches even better when the dish also incorporates acidic elements.
It brings the fruitiness of the wine even more to the forefront!
Beef Shabu-Shabu
When having shabu-shabu or yakiniku, please be sure to use ponzu sauce.
Beef or Lamb Steak
Steak is, of course, a great match as well.
Lean cuts like filet are best. It's even better with a squeeze of citrus!
About the Winery: Astrolabe
Astrolabe is a Marlborough winery established in 1996 by winemaker and owner Simon Waghorn, along with his wife and friends.
The name "Astrolabe" comes from a French ship that visited the Marlborough coast in the early 19th century, and it means "an instrument for astronomical observation."
When first established, the winery sold wine in small quantities without labels. As the high quality became known, they began releasing under the "Astrolabe" label in 2001. Exports to the UK followed, and its popularity has grown year by year.
A unique feature of Astrolabe among NZ wines available in Japan is the use of grapes from a small sub-region called "Kekerengu." Their Sauvignon Blanc bearing that name is arguably the wine that defines the winery.
Furthermore, 80% of the wine they produce is Sauvignon Blanc, and renowned NZ wine critic Bob Campbell MW has highly acclaimed Astrolabe, stating, "Astrolabe is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc producers."
About the Marlborough Region
"Marlborough" is the hub of New Zealand's wine industry.
With abundant sunshine and large temperature fluctuations between day and night, it possesses ideal natural conditions for grape cultivation, and over 80% of New Zealand wine is produced in Marlborough.
Among these, Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by its crisp acidity and overflowing fruitiness, boasts overwhelming production volume and is loved worldwide for its unique character. As for red wines, Pinot Noir, with its charming, rich berry-fruit flavors, is a popular choice.
