Ata Rangi Martinborough Pinot Gris 2024

Ata Rangi, located in the Martinborough region of New Zealand's North Island, is one of the country’s most iconic wineries, renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir. The geography and terroir of Martinborough are integral to Ata Rangi’s reputation for crafting world-class wines, but so too is the way in which sustainable wine growing practices pervade every part of their approach.

The business’s founder, Clive Paton, planted his first vines in 1980, and has since translated his lifelong passion for conservation and the environment into the land and the way the vineyards are managed, with native tree plantings, organic vineyards, the use of indigenous yeasts, and a strong connection with the people who work there are the local community.

It's a commitment which lies behind the elegance, structure, and depth of their wines, and the international reputation they have earned.

Fruit was hand-picked from the Lismore Vineyard, Walnut Ridge, in late March and earl April 2024. Grapes were gently whole bunch pressed, and juice taken to large format oak barrels with minimal settling. Spontaneous native yeast fermentation was followed by ageing on lees for 6 months. No malolactic fermentation. It was bottled in Sept 24.
