Ata Rangi Martinborough Rosé 2024

Ata Rangi Martinborough Rosé 2024"An enticing floral bouquet laced with scents of ripe apricot then raspberry, theres a light smoky quality either from soil or some old barrel (or both) adding complexity and intrigue. Dry, textured with fine tannins and acidity, flavours of red berries and spice, a whisper of smoke and lees layers in more mouthfeel and length. A lovely example with flavour, texture and depth.

The nose is wonderfully reminiscent of a summer salad of watermelon and peach. Side notes of fresh strawberry and quince paste mingle with spice notes of cardamon and aniseed. Tangy and mouth filling, this is a wonderful summer wine and due to its dry, savoury style great paired with food.

The 2024 is crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. 2024 was a beautiful season with a long cool autumn which has retained wonderful aromatics in the wines. Fermented 50:50 in larger format barrels and stainless streel tanks allows the development of savory complexity to underpin the primary fruit.

Red varietals pressed, and lightly coloured juice settled overnight and then one racked to older neutral barrels and the remainder to tank. Fermented at ambient temperature with natural yeasts.

Food Pairing: This is a wonderful summer wine and due to its more dry, savoury style is great paired with food.
