"Ata Rangi is easily the most consistent producer in Australasia, making complex, age-worthy wines." Australian winewriter Tim White

Craighall, our premium Chardonnay, is widely considered one of New Zealand’s leading white wines. Inviting aromas of white peach and hints of orange blossom. Underlying notes of fig, clover honey, brioche and a light touch of the subtly spicy French oak in which the wine was fermented and aged contribute to its charm.

The wine is produced predominantly from very low-yielding Mendoza clone vines planted on our neighbouring Craighall Vineyard over 20 years ago. Indigenous yeasts were employed to ferment the freshly-pressed, unsettled juice. These ‘wild’ yeasts slow both the onset and duration of fermentation, resulting in a very textural, multi-faceted wine.

Flawlessly balanced with succulent minerality and a long, seamless finish.
