The Crimson Pinot Noir is produced from young vines and sales of this wine support the work of Project Crimson, a charitable conservation trust established in 1990 for the protection of New Zealand's iconic native red-flowering trees - pohutukawa, and northern and southern rata. Ata Rangi founder Clive Paton has long been an avid conservationist and tree planter. It shows a beautifully elegant nose with vibrant berry fruit and is polished and refined - in short the class shows.
