Ata Rangi McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

Sourced from the boutique McCrone Vineyard in Martinborough, Ata Rangi McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020 is a rare, single-site expression crafted with the same attention to detail that has made Ata Rangi one of New Zealand’s most revered producers. Hand-harvested, wild fermented, and matured in fine French oak, this wine reflects the deep, alluvial gravels and cool coastal influences of the site, offering a powerful yet beautifully balanced Pinot Noir.

Bouquet
Complex and aromatic with dark cherry, plum, and redcurrant, layered with notes of dried herbs, spice, and earthy forest floor nuances.

Palate
Silky yet structured with layers of dark berry fruit, fine savoury tannins, and vibrant acidity. The palate is rich, textural, and seamlessly balanced, finishing long with a mineral edge and savoury spice.

Food Pairing
Ideal with roast duck, venison, mushroom risotto, or a platter of aged cheeses. Also superb with truffle-infused dishes and slow-cooked lamb.

Cellaring
Outstanding now but will evolve gracefully through to 2035. Decant if drinking young to reveal its full depth and complexity.

Interesting Fact
The McCrone Vineyard was originally planted with Ata Rangi’s legendary Pinot Noir clone material, making this limited-edition wine a true treasure—and a perfect gift for any serious Pinot Noir collector.
