Description
In a nutshell:
Top quality North Island New Zealand Pinot Noir from the Martinborough region near Wellington
The lowdown:
By way of a change this Kiwi Pinot Noir isn't from Otago, but the small region of Martinborough at the bottom of North Island. Ata Rangi make some of the best Pinot Noir in the Southern Hemisphere and sit at the World's top table. The wine is blind tasted after 10 months in oak barrels and only the best makes it into the finished product. It's young, elegant and poised with plum, redcurrants, fresh herbs and savoury notes on the palate. And held together with fine tannins, a beautiful structure and a delicious lengthy finish.
The Producer:
The small town of Martinborough at the southern end of New Zealand's North Island, inland from the capital Wellington, is the centre of a small wine region known for its top-quality Pinot Noir. It's where Ata Rangi is based and indeed they were among the pioneers of this region which is a rivals to better-known Central Otago as a centre of excellence for Pinot Noir. The first plantings were made by owner Clive Paton back in 1980 on a stony, free draining site on the outskirts of the town. Here, he reckoned, was good terrain for making quality wine and would give him the chance to achieve his ambition to be become a first-rate vigneron. Clive is still at the helm and over the years been joined by his sister Alison, wife Phyll and winemaker Helen Masters. Between them they've built the enterprise into one of the southern hemisphere's most respected Pinot Noir producers.
When to drink:
While drinking well now it has plenty of years to further improve and will develop and change over time.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
