Ata Rangi Rosé 2020
|
Delicious and dry is how we love our Rosé. In 2020 all fruit was sourced from the Wairarapa with portions of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Merlot as the base of the wine, with smaller parcels of Syrah and Pinot Gris to bring complexity.
The nose has a wonderful array of aromas: peach, blood orange, elderflower, pomegranate, and a savoury note of pecorino cheese. The palate is smooth and supple with notes of cinnamon, blood orange and a hint of sea spray. Bright acidity holds all the flavours together giving vibrancy and length. This is a wonderful summer wine and, due to its more savoury style, a great pairing with food.
Nga Waka
Nga Waka was established at Martinborough in 1988. We are a family-owned winegrower producing small volumes of fine Martinborough wine from estate-grown grapes. Our name is taken from Nga Waka A Kupe (The Canoes of Kupe). The three hills, which lie side by side like upturned canoes, form the backdrop for the town of Martinborough and its surrounds.
Legend has it that the hills were formed by the three canoes of the famed Polynesian explorer Kupe, which were carried inland by a huge earthquake and came to rest in the valley behind Martinborough.
