Description

This single vineyard Masters Chardonnay is from Helen and Ben Masters home block 4km south of town. Here the soils have a higher clay content which brings concentration, while the cooler aspect of the site heightens florals and acidity. These vines are now 23 years old and showing a singular expression unique to this site. The 2024 vintage was a dream vintage for the region; Helen Masters describes it as the best vintage she has seen in her 22 years as Ata Rangi Winemaker. What really set it apart was great canopy balance with a cool dry March that allowed for exceptional phenolic ripeness combined with bright crystalline acidity. The nose combines notes of toasted fennel seeds, white cardamon, lemon pith and fresh biscuit. On the palate flavours of lemon grass, orange blossom and almond are carried by bright clear acidity. The acidity is held in place by fruit weight and fine phenolics. The palate finishes with a long delicious almost salty character which is a hallmark of this site. A wonderful combination of power, precision and elegance.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Ata Rangi

Ata Rangi meaning "dawn sky" or "new beginning" is owned and run by a family trio of Clive Paton and his wife Phyll, together with Clive’s sister Alison and winemaker Helen Masters. Clive planted the bare, stony home paddock at the edge of Martinborough in 1980 and, in doing so, was one of a handful of people who pioneered grape growing in the area.
