About this product
New Zealand's founding Pinot Noir expression — from Ata Rangi's estate Pinot plantings established in 1980 with Burgundy-sourced clones. The wine captures Martinborough's singular character: deep ruby with a complex nose of dark cherry, iron ore, dried herb, and forest mushroom. The palate is structured and precise with fine-grained tannins, a vibrant savoury mid-palate, and a long finish of earthy mineral depth that rewards 8–12 years of cellaring.
