2024 by Ata Rangi
An almost perfect vintage is rarely shaped by one element alone. It is the quiet accumulation of many parts, layers each held in balance, that creates something truly exceptional. For the 2024 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir wines, those layers aligned with rare precision, creating a vintage of real distinction — one of the finest we have seen.
The 2024 Pinot Noir wines will be released on 7 July, 2026 and for Ata Rangi, this is a vintage worth pausing for. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing these wines at the Ata Rangi Wine Room, through special events in Wellington, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane and by the glass at a few of our favourite places to sit down, settle in, and enjoy good wine properly.
— Details on tasting events will be shared shortly through the Ata Rangi mailing list & social media
Ata Rangi was founded by Clive Paton in 1980. The first vines were planted on a small, stony sheep paddock at the edge of the Martinborough Village. Clive’s sister Alison bought an adjoining block soon after and in 1986 Clive’s partner Phyll Pattie bought a share in the business after moving from Marlborough where she had been working as a winemaker.
45 years on, we continue to work diligently to nurture Ata Rangi’s enviable reputation as one of the new world’s most respected pinot noir producers. Today, Alison Paton heads up day-to-day running of the business, with Helen Masters crafting the wines aided by the vital stewardship of vineyard manager Ian Ewart.
