Overview:
Ata Rangi Pōtiki Chardonnay is an elegant and expressive wine, crafted from a blend of newer plantings and established blocks on the Martinborough Terrace. Aged for 11 months on lees in 300-litre puncheons with indigenous yeasts, this wine offers a refined complexity that is both floral and fruit-driven. The 2022 vintage strikes a harmonious balance between freshness and subtle richness.
Tasting Notes:
The wine presents an inviting bouquet of white peach, rock melon, and orange blossom, leading to a refined mineral entry with hints of salinity. As it opens, citrus, fennel, pastry, and almond flavours emerge, offering a layered palate that is beautifully balanced with fine acidity. Fresh and joyous, it blends cool fruit notes with a touch of complexity, making it a delightful and versatile choice.
