Ata Rangi Chenin Blanc 2025 is a distinguished expression of New Zealand’s dedication to crafting world-class white wines. Originating from a small parcel of bush vines planted in 1989, this Chenin Blanc draws deep inspiration from the iconic Loire Valley, where the variety has long been celebrated. The vineyard’s original Abel clone, planted by founder Clive Paton in 1980 on a modest 5-hectare plot, now yields grapes that embody both heritage and elegance.

This wine is meticulously crafted, fermented with indigenous yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and seasoned barrels, which contributes to its complex character. The careful aging on lees for six months imparts a creamy texture and enhances mouthfeel, providing a rich, layered palate without overwhelming the natural vibrancy of the fruit.

Delight in the Chenin Blanc’s crisp acidity balanced by subtle notes of citrus, white stone fruits, and delicate floral undertones. The wine’s purity and finesse make it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, from fresh seafood to creamy cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Ata Rangi’s commitment to low-intervention winemaking and respect for terroir is proudly reflected in this vintage. The region’s cool climate ensures bright, focused flavors and a refreshing finish, making the 2025 release a promising addition to any premium wine collection.

Experience a beautifully textured, elegant Chenin Blanc that honors traditional craftsmanship while showcasing the unique character of New Zealand’s evolving wine landscape.
