Rangi\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis is where Kotinga separates itself from the flagship Ata Rangi Pinot Noir.The regular Ata Rangi Pinot brings together old-vine parcels from multiple vineyards.Kotinga is about:\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne site.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\nHalliday describes Kotinga as a vineyard sitting on the \u003cstrong\u003eedge of the river terrace at Martinborough\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThat makes this a fascinating wine to taste alongside Ata Rangi's other Pinot Noirs.Same producer.Same winemaker.Same broad region.Different vineyard.And suddenly Pinot Noir begins speaking with a different voice.That's the magic of the variety.\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMartinborough – It's All About the Site\u003c\/h2\u003e\nMartinborough's reputation has been built on an unusual combination of:\u003cstrong\u003eOld river gravels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow rainfall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarm days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCool nights\u003c\/strong\u003eand naturally restrained vineyard conditions.Ata Rangi notes that these free-draining soils force vines to work hard, creating fruit with concentration, character and a strong expression of site. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eKotinga takes that concept even further.Instead of blending several sites together, you're seeing the personality of one vineyard isolated in the bottle.\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDijon Clones – No Abel\u003c\/h2\u003e\nHere's a fascinating detail for serious Pinot Noir drinkers.Kotinga was planted in \u003cstrong\u003e2000\u003c\/strong\u003e to Dijon Pinot Noir clones:\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e115 • 667 • 777\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Wine Front's review notes that there's \u003cstrong\u003eno Abel clone\u003c\/strong\u003e in the vineyard. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThat's particularly interesting at Ata Rangi.The famous Abel clone has played an important role in the story of Martinborough Pinot Noir.Kotinga gives you something different.A Pinot Noir based around Dijon material, from a specific vineyard, with its own structural and aromatic identity.\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e40% Whole Bunch\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe 2024 also includes approximately:\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40% whole bunch.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThat's important stylistically.Whole-bunch fermentation can bring additional:\u003cstrong\u003ePerfume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHerbal complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStructure\u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003eSappy freshness\u003c\/strong\u003eto Pinot Noir.And those characters are all over the 2024 Kotinga.Red fruit.Herbs.Spice.Anise.Floral complexity.Fine but definite tannin.This isn't simply a soft, pretty Pinot.There's architecture underneath it.\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarge-Format Foudre\u003c\/h2\u003e\nHere's another key detail.Kotinga is matured in:\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge-format foudre.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Wine Front notes that used foudre is deliberately employed to preserve the \u003cstrong\u003esappy, crunchy personality of the vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, while Halliday's discussion of the Kotinga project also highlights large-format oak. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThat's a really important decision.Smaller barrels expose a greater proportion of wine to oak.Large-format vessels allow the winemaker to develop texture and complexity without overwhelming the personality of the vineyard.In other words:\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess oak flavour. More Kotinga.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\nExactly what you want from a single-vineyard Pinot Noir.\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCertified Organic Viticulture\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe vineyard story gets even more interesting.The Wine Front notes that the site has undergone \u003cstrong\u003eorganic conversion and certification\u003c\/strong\u003e, with improvements observed in aspects of the fruit and wine as the farming changed. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAta Rangi's broader vineyard program is based around certified organic practices, with its vineyard team hand-tending numerous small sections across the estate. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFor a single-vineyard Pinot Noir, that matters.This is a wine whose entire purpose is to express:\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan

Masters\u003c\/h2\u003e\nBehind these wines is winemaker \u003cstrong\u003eHelen Masters\u003c\/strong\u003e.Ata Rangi was founded by \u003cstrong\u003eClive Paton in 1980\u003c\/strong\u003e, and more than four decades later Helen is responsible for crafting the wines, working alongside vineyard manager Ian Ewart. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan
