Ata Rangi (Martinborough) 2021 Pinot Noir

99 Points — Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
97 Points — Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
95 Points — Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
97 Points — James Suckling

Winery notes:
Early season frosts and cool weather during the flowering period resulted in low bunch numbers that were open and small berried. As a result, 2021 is a small yielding year in terms of quantity but concentrated and seamless in terms of weight and tannin. Weather conditions for the rest of season were kind and enabled us to harvest clean, impeccable fruit with ripe seeds and bright acid. Made from only our oldest pinot noir plantings on the Martinborough Terrace, this wine is the best of six small vineyards all within 500 m of our winery. The result is a complex, elegant wine, beautifully perfumed in the classic Ata Rangi style. 

Ata Rangi (Martinborough) 2023 Crimson Pinot Noir

Winery note
"20 years ago we named this special Pinot Noir “Crimson” in support of Project Crimson, the charitable trust working to replant and preserve native red-flowering pōhutukawa and rātā trees throughout New Zealand.

Crimson is our selection of parcels from younger Pinot Noir vines from our various vineyards on the Martinborough Terrace. In their youth, vines tend to be more fruit expressive, gaining more complexity around 5-25 years.

2021 was a very small yielding vintage resulting in wines with intensity and concentration. The small compact bunches gave a wonderful blend of bright fruit aromas and more dark seductive notes of dark cherry, thyme and mulberry. The palate opens to more savoury notes of soy, tahini and burnt orange, which gives a depth of flavour. Combined with fresh acidity that gives energy and fine tannins that drive a sustaining finish. Only small quantities made, our Crimson 2021 shows the structure and drive of a small vintage in Martinborough."

Barren Rock (Central Otago) 2022 Pinot Noir

5 Stars & 93 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Our famous 5 Star Central Otago Pinot Noir is back in stock and looking fine!

Belles Lettres (Cotes du Rhone) 2021 Rouge AOP

The southern Rhône has always been a source of inspiration for Boutinot. Belles Lettres is a category of writing in French, originally meaning beautiful or fine writing. Winemaker Eric Monnin likens it to the way he makes his wines; crafting something of pure beauty. A writer of Belles Lettres is a 'belletrist’.

Soft, smooth and appealingly fruity; good Côtes du Rhône should be a crowd-pleaser. This is full-flavoured and rich with a hint of savoury spice on the finish, typical of well-sunned Grenache which dominates the blend.

Really easy drinking, this wine can be enjoyed on its own. It's a great accompaniment to a summer BBQ: sausages, grilled halloumi, and burgers.

Belles Lettres (Cotes du Rhone) 2021 Villages Rouge AOP

Boutinot select from plots in the best villages in the Côtes du Rhône for our assemblage. Vineyards are mostly chalky-clay soil with a heavy overlay of rounded limestone pebbles (galets roulés). Following a fifteen-day cuvaison, with délestage to gently extract colour and flavour, Grenache Noir is blended with Syrah and matured without oak.

75% Granache & 25% Syrah. This Côtes du Rhône Villages is concentrated and full flavoured with bramble fruit flavours from the Grenache Noir and a savoury spice on the finish.

The perfect accompaniment to comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, or fish and chips. This wine would really shine alongside a burger (be it beef or vegetarian) with blue cheese and triple-cooked chips.

91 Points - James Suckling

In this deep garnet red wine, reflections of purple dance. A bouquet of cherries, blueberries, sweet spices, vanilla, and chocolate fills the glass. The palate begins with a fresh start, followed by impressions of cocoa powder, herbs, and sweet mocha. Its silky tannins contribute to an elegant and straightforward experience, while a lingering finish carries hints of herbs. A true testament to the Garnacha grape, this wine serves as a tribute to Raíces Ibéricas.

Excellent wine to serve with lamb, duck breast with cherry sauce, ossobuco, grilled white meat or hard cheeses.
