About the Wine
New Zealand goes hand in hand with great Sauvignon Blanc, and Ata Rangi's Te Wa is absolutely no exception.
With supreme drinkability, this is a fantastic expression of New Zealand Savvy B. Think tropical fruits mixed with a bit of citrus, aromas of ginger, lemon grass and cinnamon.
It has a fantastic balance of flavour intensity and acidity, and it's perfect for your next get-together, BBQ, function or whenever you feel like a little tipple.
About Ata Rangi
Ata Rangi vineyard was founded by Clive Paton and his sister Alison in 1980.
The aim was use the to produce a Pinot Noir that rivals the best in the world. Today, it's fair to say, the dream has been fully realised.
The success of this small, family-owned producer is due in huge part to the formidable talents of winemaker Helen Masters. Helen was one of the key driving forces behind the vineyard's move to organic certification. Her focus on sustainability and vineyard health has seen the wines improve dramatically since her coming on board in 2003.
Ata Rangi is one of the jewels in the crown of NZ wine and one of the most respected producers of the 'New World'.

From the Producer
Te Wā, ‘time and place’ in te reo Māori, pays homage to the distinctive wine style delivered by the stony, alluvial gravels and the cool climate of the Martinborough Terrace. Our cool south prevailing wind during spring is brutal on developing bunches at flowering resulting in looser, lighter bunch weights providing lower yields. The deep gravels temper the vigour of the otherwise rampant Sauvignon Blanc vine, giving less overall canopy. This smaller canopy results in a slower, longer ripening, with a depth of flavour in the skins and a ripe crunchy seed.
Blend : Sauvignon Blanc (100%)
ABV : 12.5%

Critic Reviews
"All the things. Tropical fruit of guava, green banana, papaya, but with a zip of citrus, plenty of spice, and a cut green chilli herbal edge. It’s glossy and yet chalky too, pleasant greenery through juicy tangy tropical, some savoury cheese rind and sour yoghourt flavour, plenty of vigour, and juicy length. Lovely wine. Complex, yet easy to drink. Should age nicely too." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
"Bright, tangy yet pleasingly textural sauvignon blanc with nectarine, citrus-lemon, pineapple, wildflowers, spice and anise characters. A rich and quite complex wine with an impressively lengthy finish." - Bob Campbell (The Real Review)
