Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"This Pinot Noir has a bouquet of sweet berry fruit, and cherries. With notes of earthy forest floor and mushrooms, the palate is elegantly well balanced with fine tannins and boasts a lingering finish. This is delicious when served with many red meat dishes, and is particularly good with duck or a rich mushroom risotto. The flavours in this wine develop beautifully in the wine glass."

Reviews for the 2022 vintage below…

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"A complex yet somewhat quietly spoken bouquet, there’s charm and elegance before the aromas of dark cherry and earthy spices emerge, aromas of clove dust and vanilla pod then roses and dried raspberry. A subtle complexity that come into focus as the wine opens up in glass. A wine of texture then fruit, charm then wood, elegance then spice and smoke. This is also a wine that captures some mineral qualities reflecting place and time. Youthful, fresh and individual, a wine that you could investigate and I am sure you will enjoy. Best drinking from 2026 through 2036."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"It's beautifully fruited and inviting on the nose showing dark cherry, raspberry, floral, dried mushroom and toasted nut aromas. The palate delivers ripe fruit flavours with spicy nuances, well supported by silky texture and fine tannins, making it delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 2029."

In te reo, Ataahua means 'a place of beauty'.

Ataahua's vineyard covers 8.24 hectares in Waipara Valley, North Canterbury wine country. It is planted on central Waipara's Glasnevin soils, situated on the Weka River terraces (taking advantage of a micro-climate unique in New Zealand).

Syrah and Pinot Noir grapes grow on the lower terrace, an area fed with mulch to build up the soil structure.

Pinot Noir grows on the middle and top terraces, while Riesling and Chardonnay plantings also grow on the clay loam soil of the top terrace.

Ataahua is a family-run vineyard, worked by multiple generations of the Henderson-Grants whānau and their team.

Ataahua are committed to sustainability and, as such, are certified sustainable. This entails looking after the land with future generations in mind, and for Ataahua this means strategically planting natives to aim for carbon neutrality and undertaking other practical endeavours such as rain water collection for irrigation.
