One place.
Acres of
potential.
ARA's wines are new, but our roots run deep. The fusion of old and new is a recurring theme with us. We have a young vineyard on ancient land, combine advanced ideas with time-honoured traditions, respect the past but are inspired by a sustainable vision of the future. You’ll see this old and new balance in everything we do.
Our landscape
ARA’s site has amazing natural landforms. We have worked with these to benefit the estate, but in a way that’s environmentally ethical.
Sustainability
The land will look after us if we look after the land. Simple as that. So we take care to keep our environmental footprint as small as possible. This way ARA can go on making wine at our special place year after year, for generations.
Making wine
Everything we do to make wine at ARA is informed by three fundamental beliefs.
OUR BUILDING
The Dart is a real-life expression of commercial architecture’s leading edge. It demonstrates beautifully how functionality and efficiency can coexist with aesthetics and sustainability.
ARA’s estate lies at the elevated end of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand. We get all the beneficial climatic influences that have made the region’s wines world famous, plus some special advantages that are related to our soil types and higher altitude.
