ATA RANGI ROSÉ 2021

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Delicious and dry is how we love our Rosé. The 2021 is crafted from old-vine Wairarapa Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with smaller portions of Syrah and Pinot Noir to bring added complexity. All barrel fermented in larger format barrels to meld the fruits aromas with a more savoury complexity.

The nose has a wonderful array of aromas: peach, blood orange, pomegranate, red apple and pink peppercorns. The palate is smooth and juicy with notes of nectarine, watermelon and prosciutto. Bright acidity holds all the flavours together giving vibrancy and length. This is a wonderful summer wine and due to its more savoury style, a great pairing with food."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"This is immediately appealing on the nose showing ripe cherry, apricot, red apple and subtle spice aromas, leading to a vibrant palate delivering terrific fruit intensity backed by fine texture and juicy acidity. Charming and deliciously appealing. At its best: now to 2023."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"Made with Merlot and Cabernet France the bouquet and palate showcase aromas of soft velvet roses and a quiet mineral layer, fresh cranberry and sweet strawberry, red melon and a whisper of fruit spice. On the palate – silky texture with a core of fruits flavours that mirror the bouquet, refreshing and slightly salty acid line, super fine chalky tannins and a balanced, lengthy finish. So much to like about this wine. Best drinking from 2021 through end of summer 2024."
