Winery Notes (2024 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.

The 2024 was an exceptional vintage, this Pōtiki Chardonnay delivers on power, depth and freshness. Aromas of yellow fleshed nectarine, bergamot and apple pudding meld with savoury notes of miso paste and sesame seed cake. The palate entry has flavours of crushed shell, hints of lanolin and baked apple. There is great depth of flavour that spreads the whole palate, underpinned with a line of acidity that sweeps through the palate giving freshness on the finish.

Hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed, with the unsettled juice fully barrel fermented in Burgundy 300L puncheon barrels (20% new) using indigenous yeasts. Partial malolactic. Aged in barrel on lees for 11 months."

97/100 & Top 100 New Zealand Wines of 2025, JamesSuckling.com (2024 Vintage)
"This single-vineyard chardonnay shows a trendy flinty character that gives it lots of mineral and crushed stone aromas. Medium-bodied with a linear and racy finish of sliced apples, pears and just a hint of wood. Fresh and lively."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"Varietal, ripe and intriguing bouquet with scents of grapefruit and pith, white fleshed stone fruits, a clay-earth idea and wild forest flowers. There’s a layer of complexity from the use of older barrels and a fine leesy quality adding further depth and bandwidth throughout the bouquet. On the palate a crisp, taut and dry wine, at the beginning of the first development stage with a melding of fruit and spices, lees and mineral. A wine to cellar still with best drinking from early 2027 through 2033+."

94/100 Mike Bennie, James Halliday's Wine Companion (2024 Vintage)
"There's some fresh fruitiness here, and yet the wine feels shaped with fine, chalky texture and a core of mineral-charged acidity. A sense of restraint and tension, the high refreshment factor also part and parcel. Nectarine, crunchy red apples, cashew, lemongrass and a pretty spice mix. A modern take on the variety, done with aplomb."

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.
