Clive planted the bare, stony, home paddock at the edge of Martinborough in 1980, in doing so, he was one of a handful of people who pioneered grape growing in the area. Ata Rangi's first vineyard covered less than five hectares on deep, free-draining alluvial gravels, the original course of a local river which flows from the hills that flank the eastern side of the valley. In 2012, Clive, who is also an avid conservationist, was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his contribution to both viticulture and conservation in New Zealand. In January 2019, Helen was awarded 2019 New Zealand Winemaker of the Year by Gourmet Traveller WINE magazine, a superb recognition of her 16 years’ work at Ata Rangi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAta Rangi is renowned for its Pinot Noir and is widely regarded as New Zealand's top Pinot Noir producer. They have been awarded Five Stars in the '2013 Great New Zealand Pinot Noir Classification' by Matthew Jukes and Tyson Stelzer for the gold medal standard of their recent vintages. At the 2010 International Pinot Noir Conference, Ata Rangi Pinot Noir was given the title of 'Tipuranga Teitei o Aotearoa' (which translates from Maori as 'Great Growth of New Zealand' or 'Grand Cru'), in recognition of their unique site and of the family's commitment to evolving and developing New Zealand Pinot Noir. The oldest Pinot Noir vines, which include a clone allegedly smuggled from Burgundy, were planted in 1980.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eATA RANGI\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"The official website of Ata Rangi, Martinborough in New Zealand\" href=\"https:\/\/atarangi.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Like Ata Rangi Wines on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtaRangiWine\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Follow Ata Rangi Wines on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ata_rangi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ata_rangi\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ata_rangi\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ata-rangi-crimson-pinot-noir","title":"Ata Rangi Crimson Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile Ata Rangi’s flagship Pinot Noir rightly commands global reverence, their ‘Crimson’ release is far more than a simple second wine. It is a profound expression of Martinborough terroir in its own right, crafted by the esteemed winemaker Helen Masters from the estate’s younger vines. The 2024 vintage, widely regarded by the winery as one of the finest in their 45-year history of growing grapes, delivers an electrifying and pristine expression of New Zealand Pinot Noir. The name \"Crimson\" is a direct nod to Project Crimson, a charitable trust dedicated to the preservation of New Zealand’s native red-flowering pōhutukawa and rātā trees. This commitment to the land is reflected in the glass. The fruit is handled with the exact same uncompromising philosophy as the flagship: indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and precise ageing in French oak. In the glass, the 2024 pours a vivid, translucent ruby. The nose is incredibly expressive and perfumed, offering a complex aromatic weave of ripe cranberry, wild cherry, and hibiscus, alongside a distinct, savoury undertone of fresh sage and crushed rock. On the palate, it is entirely seamless. Plush, sun-drenched red fruit is held in perfect tension by a vibrant, salivating acidity and tannins that feel like finely cut velvet.

As a result, the team harvests this varietal fairly late to obtain a wine closer to the richer style of Pinot Gris produced in Alsace, rather than the leaner, bone-dry style of Pinot Grigio common in much of northern Italy. All the fruit is handpicked and at the winery whole bunch pressed. The juice was then transferred to large format barrels with minimal settling. Spontaneous indigenous yeast fermentation occurred and then the wine was aged on its lees for six months. No malolactic fermentation was allowed to take place. This is a fuller style of Pinot Gris, originally influenced by the style of wines from Alsace and developed over the years into Ata Rangi's own, uniquely Martinborough style. Fragrant aromas of fresh pear, lychee and citrus blend with perfumed notes of rose, jasmine and citronella on the nose. The palate opens with spicy notes of nutmeg and ground ginger. It is a textural wine with balance, beautiful fresh acidity and a long, complex finish.
