Ata Rangi Rose 2023

Ata Rangi, a renowned family-owned estate in Martinborough, presents its 2023 Rosé—a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, and a touch of Malbec. This vintage underwent half tank and half barrel fermentation in larger format barrels, enhancing its savoury complexity and melding fruit aromas seamlessly.

Bouquet
The nose evokes a summer salad of watermelon and prosciutto, complemented by baked raspberry and a hint of balsamic vinegar, offering a moreish and inviting aroma.

Palate
On the palate, flavours of peppered strawberries are framed by bright, fresh acidity. The wine's dry, savoury style delivers a refreshing experience, making it an excellent companion for summer fare.

Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled seafood, charcuterie boards, or fresh salads. Its savoury notes also pair well with soft cheeses and light pasta dishes.

Cellaring
Best enjoyed young to appreciate its vibrant fruit and acidity. Consume from 2023 through the end of summer 2026.

Interesting Fact
Ata Rangi, meaning "dawn sky" in Māori, was established in 1980 and has since become a benchmark producer in Martinborough, particularly celebrated for its Pinot Noir.
