Located at the southern end of the North Island in the village of Martinborough, it is owned and managed by a family trio – Clive Paton, his wife Phyll and his sister Alison. Clive planted his first vines on a small, stony sheep paddock at the edge of the Martinborough village in 1980 as one of a handful of people who pioneered winegrowing in the area. Ata Rangi Pinot Noir is undoubtedly the flagship wine, and in 2010 was honoured with the inaugural Tipuranga Teitei o Aotearoa or “Grand Cru of New Zealand”. With a skilled team in place, including dynamic winemaker Helen Masters, Clive now has more time to focus on his commitment to conservation and to the Ata Rangi alliance with Project Crimson. Over the past 30 years of Ata Rangi Pinot Noir releases, the wine has developed a strong reputation for a particular savouriness of style which reflects our grapes, sites and climate. The 2016 year typifies this style – a complex set of aromas and flavours which ripple over each other: juniper, cranberry, manuka flower, sandalwood, a hint of gingerbread and classic sweet hay. On the palate, flavours spread from warm spice to Campari, with a savoury seam that hints at ramen broth. The entry is vibrant and compelling with a rush of tannin that sweeps the flavours right through the palate. While this release will reward from cellaring, it is also highly satisfying to drink now. Only the oldest and most revered parcels of fruit are used in this, our premium Pinot Noir. The fabled Abel clone, allegedly smuggled from Burgundy in the mid-70s, makes up 40% of the blend. The result is a very complex, structured wine, beautifully perfumed in the classic Ata Rangi style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlc 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ata Rangi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7212137676862,"sku":"2444","price":89.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1267\/4059\/products\/ata-rangi-pinot-noir.png?v=1542769988"},{"product_id":"escarpment-kupe-pinot-noir","title":"Escarpment Kupe Pinot Noir 2022 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"An innovative planting in Escarpment’s Te Muna Road vineyard.

The fruit is destemmed and crushed directly into a combination of open and closed top stainless steel fermentation tanks. Following pre-fermentation maceration, the must is inoculated with a range of pure yeast cultures. The open ferment is hand plunged multiple times a day and a small portion of the blend run off to complete fermentation in French oak barriques. After maceration, the wine is pressed off into tank and French oak barriques to complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured for up to 12 months and racked prior to final blending. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe’re proud to offer a unique, fruit-forward expression of New Zealand Pinot Noir.

The name appears in other mining areas. One possible explanation is that miners suffering from toothache would visit ‘the doctor’ (THE PROPRIETOR) of the local sly grog shop or hotel to obtain a bottle of ‘painkiller’. P. Crump, local historian The story of Doctors Flat Vineyard begins in the late 1980s, in France and California, where Steve Davies first encountered great practitioners of old world winemaking, and the best of new world innovators. Determined to make quality wine, he returned to New Zealand for postgraduate study, and after a brief detour into Sauvignon Blanc production moved back to the Napa Valley, California. Having served an apprenticeship making great Bordeaux reds at Newton the first clear steps toward New Zealand was the move, in 1996, to Saintsbury and making Pinot Noir. By 1999 Steve had settled in Central Otago, making Pinot for Akarua and on the hunt for his own land. He was looking for something in particular—a site that would offer all the conditions he had come to believe were essential for great Pinot. It was a long and thorough search, and in 2002 he found it, an elevated site on deep glacial gravels in Bannockburn. Doctors Flat Vineyard was a reality There is tale unfolding. His pursuit of quality has evolved and shifted focus: from the art of winemaking, to grapes and vineyards, and now into the site and soil, the true source of wine of quality. Patience remains key. Steve is farming organically, taking the time to build soil health, observing changes as the vines age. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlc 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13546692771902,"sku":"29082","price":58.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1267\/4059\/products\/Doctors-flat-pinot-noit.png?v=1540433282"},{"product_id":"bogle-pinot-noir-750ml","title":"Bogle Pinot Noir 2022 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommercial description \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBogle winemakers have sourced fruit from the best growing regions in California for the varietal.

Typical Porter Estate aromas: a floral, cherry and earthy complexity. That “French” type complexity we love as it harmonises beautifully with game and cheese. There is a redcurrant, cherry and petal delicacy about the nose and over a period of time, new flavours and smells begin to emerge. At this stage, the palate is a good reflection of the nose, there are no unpleasant surprises. The initial mouthfeel is an “Oh My” moment, the supple, smooth entry belies the palates firm and focal end. The tannins add a subtle framework, and the acid adds tightness. This is exactly what a young Pinot should be –pleasant now, but will reward the purchaser after several years of cellaring, in which it will gradually become more integrated than it currently is.

Founder Ivan Donaldson planted the first Canterbury vineyard in 1976 and went on to establish Pegasus Bay in 1986 with his wife Christine. It is a true family business with all four of their sons and two spouses involved, managing various aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE VINEYARD AND VINES\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyard is located within the Waipara Valley of North Canterbury, on free draining, north facing terraces carved out of New Zealand’s Southern Alps by an ice-age glacier. It benefits from being in the lee of the Teviotdale Range, giving maximum protection from the Pacific’s easterly breezes and thus creating a unique mesoclimate. The vines are over 30 years old, with a large proportion planted on their own roots. The soil is free draining and of low fertility, resulting in naturally reduced vine vigour. This produces low yields of optimally ripened, high quality, flavourful grapes, which fully express the qualities of this unique terroir. The vineyard has warm days, but the nights are amongst the coolest in the Waipara Valley, drawing out the ripening period of the grapes, while still retaining good natural acidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE WINE\u003cbr\u003eIts colour is a deep ruby upon release. Dark toned and seductive, the nose unfurls with an alluring bouquet of boysenberry, black cherry, and cacao, underpinned with a savoury underlay, reminiscent of wood spice, roast game, truffle, leather, and a tickle of cinnamon. The palate is decadently ripe and supple bodied, with fine grained tannins and generous fruit weight that combine to beautifully harmonise the wine. A backbone of zippy acidity creates the perfect union, adding structure and length on the long, succulent close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlc 13%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30282151985214,"sku":"28828","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1267\/4059\/products\/Pegasus-Bay-Pinot-Noir-2016-750ml.png?v=1569970926"},{"product_id":"decibel-pinot-noir-2016-750ml","title":"Decibel Pinot Noir 2022 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommercial description\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVITICULTURE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartinborough sits in a perfect Pinot Noir pocket on the lower North Island. To the west of Martinborough is the Rimutaka Mountain ranges, protecting the region from the westerly rains. To the southeast lies the Aorangi Range and due east are the foothills leading up the coast of the North Island. There is, however, some exposure to the cold southerlies coming up through Palliser Bay in the spring that limit flowering and result in low yielding vines producing fruit of high intensity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis single vineyard wine was produced from a dry farmed block with a unique soil structure for Martinborough. Slightly more elevated than the typical river terrace soils than most of Martinborough,\u003cbr\u003ethis vineyard has great exposure with a northeast aspect. The vines are planted in 100% Dijon clones of 667, 777, 5, 114 and 115, half of which are planted on their own rootsock.

Light, gentle plunging in small fermentation tanks with 10% whole bunches in the mix. The ferments were on skins for 3 to 4 weeks and then pressed gently through a small basket press. They were settled in tanks and then put to barrel where they slowly went through secondary fermentation, finishing in the spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach barrel was evaluated and then chosen for the final blend and bottled the following year in February resulting in 10 months in French barriques with 10% new oak, 20% 2 and 3 year old oak and the balance in neutral oak.

Plummy dark fruit with considerable depth and concentration, complemented by subtle airy herbs with a sprig of thyme and integrated brown spice overlay. Aromatic complexity and density with lift and bright cherry like fruit. These are expansive and vibrant aromatics: there is a festoon of bouquet here. The plummy fruit theme continues with a plush entry noteworthy in its concentration and generosity that builds as it progresses over the palate. Silky tannins and bright but supporting acidity give vitality and energy. The uniqueness of the vineyard marks the wine with a powerful core of juicy fruit that holds things in a fine balance between richness and lightness. Savoury exit with length. As usual, there is so much to enjoy about this blend as a youngster, but it will be hitting its straps at 3 years with subtle complexity evolving across the fruit, but why wait?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Central Otago, New Zealand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlc 14%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akitu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30282154049598,"sku":"41311","price":43.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1267\/4059\/products\/Valli-Bannockburn-Pinot-Noir-2017-750ml.png?v=1571369431"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiskyandmore.co.nz\/collections\/pinot-noir\/gisborne.oembed","provider":"Whisky and More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
