Single Bottle - Standard - 750ml

HK$700.00

Tasting Notes:

Vivid aromatics of toasted cumin, fresh loam and spicy tobacco set up a solid framework for the fleshy black cherry and plum flavors, delivering a pleasant push of flavors on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 165 cases imported.

Tasting Notes:

Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2011 Crimson Pinot Noir is made from younger vines and gives earthy, gamey, red currant and cranberry aromas laced with lovely yeasty and toasty notes. Medium-bodied and elegantly framed with crisp acid and soft tannins, it also finishes long. Drink it now to 2017. A winery that really needs no introduction for NZ Pinot lovers, there’s not much for me to add about the long-serving, dedicated team behind Ata Rangi – they just go from strength to strength. The Pinots have always been great, and yet even in a world where the Pinot benchmark gets higher every year, Ata Rangi is better than ever. (Almost equally impressive though are Petrie and Craighall Chardonnays, clearly getting a lot of love in the cellar from highly skilled winemaker Helen Masters.)

Tasting Notes:

This shows really attractive floral notes on the nose, followed by smoldering, dark flavors of roasted root vegetables and caramelized black cherries. It's full-bodied and maybe even a bit chunky on the palate, so give it until 2016–2017 to settle down and smooth out.

Tasting Notes:

Elegant and quite complex, with tight, powerful cherry and berry fruit flavours and an underlying sappy, savoury, mineral character that lifts the wine into another quality realm. A classic Ata Rangi Pinot from a good vintage.Price £39-£45 Carruthers & Kent, Excel Wines, Farr Vintners, Liberty Wines, Majestic, Noel Young, Slurp, The Secret Cellar, The Wine SocietyDrink 2015-2023Alc 14%
