When we talk about New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc at WineMarket we’re pretty good at jokes…

…about sheep and fish-and-chips and pronouncing the number ‘six’, but we often get a little lost for the funny stuff when we talk about their Pinot Noirs. The Kiwis have really stepped it up a notch with pinot noir, producing some of the more elegant premium red wines.

So when we were having a giggle about ‘shearing six sheep’ and were presented with a glass of this Ara Pathway Pinot Noir, we went from comedians to wine connoisseurs in seconds.

You see this highly-recommended red wine has a lot going for it. Grown in the higher vineyards of the Ara estate, the wine gets a subtler, softer feel. It still has loads of fruit flavour, but everything has been tucked in neatly, making a wine of huge, easy drinking appeal. But words like elegant, seamless, sophisticated and complex also come up easily around this wine.

We’ve also nutted out an absolute bargain. The ARA Pathway Pinot Noir would normally retail for $22 a bottle but in our choice deal it’s just $12.08 a bottle. One could even say that the regular retail price has been hit for sux.

Palate  Pathway Pinot Noir is a classic expression of Marlborough; a supple Pinot Noir with sweet berry fruit aromas and light spice notes wrapped up with a lingering savoury finish.
Highlights  Ara’s Pathway wines are sourced from throughout Ara’s Single Estate vineyard. The grape parcels are purposefully selected to deliver the perfect balance between the renowned Made with grapes from one place, ARA single estate wine aims to deliver more surprise, more excitement and more enjoyment. Fusing the timehonoured art of winemaking with fresh ideas, we amplify and refine the natural qualities of our remarkable Wairau Valley location. The result is a strikingly different Marlborough, New Zealand experience. Marlborough exuberance and fruit expression and the refinement that provides the elegance and texture that you can expect from Ara.
Winery Information  The name ARA (pronounced ‘are-ah’) is both the indigenous Maori word for “pathway” and Latin for “altar”. Both definitions are compatible with our philosophy. ARA captures our adventurous spirit; it also echoes our deep respect for tradition and our environment.
