Log in / Sign up Ata Rangi 'Crimson' Pinot Noir 2020
Ata Rangi vineyard was founded by Clive Paton and his sister Alison in 1980.
The aim was use the to produce a Pinot Noir that rivals the best in the world. Today, it's fair to say, the dream has been fully realised.
The success of this small, family-owned producer is due in huge part to the formidable talents of winemaker Helen Masters. Helen was one of the key driving forces behind the vineyard's move to organic certification. Her focus on sustainability and vineyard health has seen the wines improve dramatically since her coming on board in 2003.
Ata Rangi is one of the jewels in the crown of NZ wine and one of the most respected producers of the 'New World'.
Meaty and Oily Fish
This Crimson has a fragrant nose of dried roses and hay. Fresh thyme and rosemary with spice notes of black cardamon, cinnamon and warm cedar.
The palate is wonderfully open and calm, with red fruits gliding through to the finish. This wine is engaging and alluring now and will age gracefully.
