The Ata Rangi Craighall Chardonnay is one of the most prestigious creations from the Ata Rangi winery located in Martinborough, New Zealand. Sourced from low-yield vineyards on the Martinborough Terrace, this white wine stands out for its varietal concentration and elegance. Made from hand-picked grapes and whole-cluster pressed, the must is fermented in Burgundy barrels using indigenous yeasts. Approximately 24% of the barrels are new, adding complexity without overshadowing the wine's fruity character. Partial malolactic fermentation and aging on lees for 12 months contribute to its refined balance. On the nose, it presents aromas of ripe white peach, jasmine flowers, and spicy notes, while on the palate it offers a precise texture and a lingering finish. It is especially suited for pairing with baked fish, seafood, and creamy sauces. Its ability to evolve in the bottle makes it a white wine with great gastronomic potential.
