Vintage Character The 2024 Ata Rangi Sauvignon Blanc 'Te Wā' from Martinborough, New Zealand, exemplifies the region’s ability to produce vibrant, expressive Sauvignon Blancs. Benefiting from a temperate growing season marked by cool nights and warm days, the vintage delivers lively acidity and aromatic complexity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine opens with pronounced notes of kaffir lime, white grapefruit, and fresh-cut herbs, accented by subtle lemongrass and passionfruit. On the palate, it is layered and textured, with a refined mineral backbone and a lingering, saline finish that reflects the gravelly alluvial soils of Martinborough. Its poised structure and depth make it an excellent match for fresh goat cheese, grilled asparagus, or lightly spiced Sichuan shrimp, each pairing highlighting the wine’s crispness and aromatic nuance.
