Ara Light Merlot

50% less alcohol, 45% less calories* without compromising on flavour. Ripe plum and blackberry notes combine with sweet baking spice and toasty notes on the nose. The palate displays layers of dark berry fruit and vanilla from French and American oak aging, supported by fine tannin which gives the wine structure and a long dry finish.

Vineyards in the valley range from cooler, drier inland sites, to stony, early-ripening sites, to sea-breeze moderated coastal sites. Soils are more gravelly to the north nearer the riverbed. Within this region, wines reflect the individual vineyard and producer strengths but all have the hallmark pure fruit intensity and body. This gives us incredible scope to honour the individual vineyard and unique vintage our wines have come from.


Our climate and soil are crucial to the character of our wines and show the diversity of the stunning Marlborough region. We work in harmony with this beautiful environment as our means of paying it tribute.
