owned and managed by Clive Paton, his wife Phyll and Clive's sister Alison. Clive planted the originally bare, stony 12-acre home paddock at the edge of the Martinborough village in 1980 and, in doing so, was one of a handful of people who pioneered grape growing in the area. Ata Rangi Pinot Noir is now widely considered a leading New World example of this challenging variety.  

With a dedicated team in both the vineyard and winery, Clive now has more time to focus on his on-going commitment to planting native trees at the family's Bush Block, and the Ata Rangi alliance with Project Crimson which has evolved from this work.
