Five Star Winery Rating - Seventh Great Pinot Noir Classification 2014, Matthew Dukes & Tyson Stelzer
Ata Rangi, a Maori word meaning ‘dawning sky’ or ‘new beginning’, is a world renown vineyard owned and managed by Clive Paton, his wife Phyll, Clive’s sister Alison and her husband Oliver Masters. Clive planted the original home paddock in Martinborough in 1980 and in doing so was one of the handful of people who pioneered grape growing in the region. - oldvinesaustralia
"Ata Rangi was a small, stony sheep paddock when Clive bought it with a wad of cash from the sale of his herd of cows back in 1980. His farming mates thought he was mad; grapes were unheard of in the region. But Clive knew the area well... More than three decades later - backed by a string of awards and accolades - Ata Rangi is well established in 25 international markets and has an enviable reputation as one of the New World's most respected Pinot Noir producers." - Ata Rangi
