Composite wines are from Ara, a new origin of wine that lies at the confluence of the Wairau and Waihopai rivers in the world famous Marlborough region of New Zealand.

Ara is an extensive and ancient river terrace - a remarkable feature on the New Zealand landscape presenting superb conditions for growing exceptional cool-climate sauvignon blanc and pinot noir.

The winemaking philosophy blends new and old world vinicultural philosophies and practices to produce a new standard in wine.

Composite wines are made up of complex and related parts. The wines, name and label designs are an integrated expression of the place - Ara - a whole that surpasses the sum of its many component parts – from soil classification, vineyard design, trellis construction and water networks to small batch winemaking and careful blending.

Composite wines – the fruits of a unique fusion of land, people, nature and climate.
