Ata Rangi, Raranga Sauvignon Blanc
£20.02
Organic.
Ata Rangi is owned and run by Clive Paton and his wife Phyll, together with Clive's sister Alison and winemaker Helen Masters. Clive planted the bare, stony five hectare home paddock at the edge of Martinborough in 1980 and, in doing so, was one of a handful of people who pioneered grape growing in the area. Renowned for their Pinot Noir, which is consistently ranked as one of New Zealand's best, Ata Rangi also produces a range of white wines including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris.
The Ata Rangi vineyards are situated in Wairarapa, just north of Wellington. Yields are typically low due to the cool, windy spring weather which affects fruit set and the lean, stony soils which are low in vigour and fertility. The vineyards are in conversion to organic certification and are accredited as 100% sustainable.
Tasting Note:
This wine has aromas of spiced apple pie, lime and melon. On the palate, there are notes of candied lemon and cardamom. Creamy and savoury finish.
