The pulp for this paper is grown in a sustainably managed forest of fast growing trees. The growth rate of the trees is important, as the faster growth maximises the amount of carbon they absorb from the atmosphere in their life cycle. After harvesting, trees are replanted to ensure the cycle of carbon removal from the atmosphere continues. For the good of the land where we grow our grapes.

When winemaker Simon Waghorn decided to create his own brand he chose the name “Astrolabe” because of the historic ties with Marlborough and the connotations of exploration and discovery. All Simon's skill and experience, combined with capturing the essence of Marlborough in wines of purity, focus and elegance. Of special interest to Simon are the unique qualities of sub regionality as expressed in the Valleys wines, and how the sub regions can combine as Marlborough classics in the Province wines.

The vineyards are sited above a natural escarpment above the Huarangarua River on ancient gravels. Overlooking them are the Aorangi Ranges where Maori legend has it that the Polynesian voyager Kupe abandoned three canoes - hence the shape. Kupe's image is on the label.

Pour yourself a glass, it’s got a story... In the eighties two wind-surfing buddies started an adventure. They purchased land and joined early mavericks growing grapes and making wine in Marlborough. Inspired by a sighting of a rare New Zealand Falcon at Lake Chalice, they built the brand and connection to the land. Chloe Gabrielsen and her team chose the right moment to make wines; a liquid snapshot of place and time - to her it is whakapapa. Since 2015, the Ibbotson family have run Lake Chalice, they continue to proudly support our endangered Karearea by sponsoring the Marlborough Falcon Trust. Do you taste the story now?

Situated in the Gimblett Gravels, a gift left behind from the trails of the old Ngaruroro River which meandered through the region until a huge flood changed its course in 1867. A sense of exploration runs deep at Left Field, just like the ancient Ngaruroro River winding its way through the Gimblett Gravels, always seeking a different path.

Rimapere means “five arrows” in Maori and simultaneously honours the Rothschild family’s coat of arms (five arrows symbolising the five sons of dynasty founder Mayer Amschel Rothschild, out to conquer the world) and traditional New Zealand culture. Benjamin de Rothschild dreamed of creating his own sauvignon blanc wine. He had to find the perfect gem and corresponding jewellery box for a precise wine-growing endeavour, far from the industrial vineyards also present in Marlborough. Ideally located in the prestigious area of Rapaura, the Rimapere vineyard spans 24 hectares: 20 for sauvignon blanc four for pinot noir.
