This wine was inspired by the deep Crimson blooms of the iconic native pōhutukawa and northern and southern rātā trees. A portion of the sales of this wine support Project Crimson, a charitable conservation trust that plants and protects these trees across the country. The Pinot Noir grapes for Crimson are produced from 5-25 year old Martinborough vines. The area is a deep gravel terrace with an alluvial loess layer over the gravels.

Ata Rangi, meaning ‘dawn sky, new beginning’ is owned and managed by a family trio – Clive Paton, his wife Phyll and his sister Alison. Clive planted the bare, stony five-hectare home paddock at the edge of Martinborough in 1980 and, in doing so, was one of a handful of people who pioneered grape growing in the area. Joined by winemaker Helen Masters, Ata Rangi is renowned for their Pinot Noir, which is consistently ranked as one of New Zealand's best and in 2010 was awarded the ‘Tipuranga Teitei O Aotearoa,’ New Zealand’s ‘Grand Cru’ equivalent.
