Winery Notes (2023 Vintage)
"Pōtiki, meaning ‘last born’ in Maori, is blended from a selection of newer plantings and some of our more established blocks on the Martinborough Terrace. Barrel fermented in 300 litre puncheons with indigenous yeasts, followed by 11 months on lees to bring a subtle complexity.

A vintage that suited white varieties, the 2023 Pōtiki has evolved into a truly remarkable wine. The 2023 has an expressive, floral, and fruit driven nose of white peach and nectarine, with mealy notes of cashew nuts and blanched white almonds. The palate has a smooth entry and almost doesn’t prepare you for the focus and freshness of this wine. This classical chardonnay maintains poise and focus and, will reward cellaring."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"A complex pure bouquet defining minerality and site first then scents of white peach and overripe grapefruit peel, there’s a line pomaceous fruits then barrel spice and fine chalky lees ideas. At ambient to slightly cool temperature this wine performs best with a fine silk-cream touch, acid line and core fruit flavours all in harmony. Fine fruit and wood tannins frame the ideas of minerality as well as adding mouthfeel and length through the palate. Well made, delicious and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2030."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Offering finesse and poise, the wine shows white flesh peach, Gala apple, subtle vanilla, and almond meal characters on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight and refined texture, splendidly structured by fine acidity, finishing with a terrific line and length. Harmonious and complex, it’s beautifully proportioned with a lengthy, elegant finish. At its best: now to 2032."

In Te Reo Māori, Ata Rangi means “dawn sky” or “new beginning,” a name that honours the land and reflects the winery's dedication to its craft. This small, family-owned organic winery in Martinborough, Aotearoa-New Zealand, focuses on creating wines that embody the essence of their place. Founded by Clive Paton in 1980, Ata Rangi has grown from its humble beginnings on a stony sheep paddock. Clive’s sister Alison and his partner Phyll Pattie soon joined him, and today, Alison oversees operations while Helen Masters crafts the wines, supported by vineyard manager Ian Ewart.

Ata Rangi's winemaking philosophy is hands-off and traditional, emphasising the natural expression of their terroir. They aim for balance, using whole bunch fermentation and barrel ageing to enhance vineyard characteristics. Each vintage uniquely reflects its growing conditions, with cooler years bringing herbal notes and warmer seasons offering fuller fruit aromas. Their minimalist approach avoids cultured yeast, enzymes, and fining products, ensuring authentic wines with depth, texture, and ageing potential.
