Ata Rangi Potiki Martinborough Chardonnay 2019
- French oak
- Citrus blossom
- Almonds & lime
- Youthful
"A very restrained, subtle, mellow, dare we say Burgundian-influenced, style on the nose. There are hints of nectarine, pear, almond, and lemon butter on the nose. A taut, dry, lighter-bodied, refreshing style with plenty of structure, salivating acidity, and longish, nutty finish. Great food style" New Zealand Wine Rater, Jun 2021
Bright aromas of citrus blossom, apple, blanched almonds with a hint of lime leaf. The palate is focused, with a salty, mineral line and fresh flavours of lemon and coriander. This is a youthful wine that’s delicious drinking now, but it will also reward further with cellar age.
Pōtiki, meaning ‘last born’ in Maori, is blended from a selection of newer plantings and some of their more established blocks on the Martinborough Terrace. A brilliant vintage with low crops has provided concentration and detail, resulting in a wine that is engaging, vibrant and beautifully balanced.
Hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed, with the unsettled juice fully barrel fermented in Burgundy 300L puncheon barrels (20% new) using indigenous yeasts. Full malolactic. Aged in barrel on lees for 10 months.
