Ata Rangi Lismore Pinot Gris from Ata Rangi in Martinborough is a beautifully composed, textural white that shows the estate’s finesse with aromatic varieties and a deep respect for site. It opens with inviting aromas of ripe pear, baked apple, and gentle spice, layered with hints of almond and a subtle floral lift that immediately signal both richness and restraint.

On the palate, flavours of stone fruit, nashi pear, and soft citrus flow across a supple, silky frame, balanced by fresh acidity and a fine savoury edge. The wine has real presence without feeling heavy, with a quietly complex mid-palate and a long, poised finish that speaks to careful winemaking and exceptional fruit.

This is an excellent partner for roast pork, spiced Asian dishes, creamy seafood, or mushroom risotto. It also drinks beautifully on its own, making it a versatile and very satisfying choice for both the table and relaxed entertaining.
