Ata Rangi Craighall Chardonnay 375ml (screw cap) 2017
Craighall, our premium Chardonnay, is from prized blocks of low-yielding Mendoza clone vines.
The oldest, now over 30 years of age, are situated directly opposite the Ata Rangi home block in
the heart of the deep, free-draining gravels that make up the Martinborough Terrace. Add in low
annual rainfall and typically strong Wairarapa winds and the result is a high percentage of tiny berries,
giving wine of serious concentration and drive with tight, bright acidity.
The 2016 bears all the hallmarks of classic Craighall on the nose - stone fruit, almond biscotti and lime
zest. On the palate, it is rich on entry with a supple and enticing mid structure, before flowing into a
long and lingering mineral finish. Fully barrel fermented with wild indigenous yeasts, this exceptional
release has excellent cellaring potential.
