Tasting note
Ara's wines are produced from their sustainably managed vineyard in the most south-western corner of Marlborough and deliver an intense and unmistakable purity. More elegant than many of its Marlborough competitors, this wine displays pronounced grapefruit aromatics with restrained mineral and flinty characters on the palate and a crisp finish.
