The wines of New Zealand - North IslandAta Rangi Vineyards, MartinboroughOne of the most noteworthy and in demand estates in New Zealand, tremendous concentration of flavour hallmark the wines of Ata Rangi. The Célèbre is truly marvellous , an intoxicating, layered wine full of summer fruit flavours. The Pinot Noir is an ICON that sells out immediately on release on the domestic market; delicious at any stage if you really want to get a taste of what this funky Pinot fuss is all about, try to stash a couple of bottles away for five to six years.
