Produced in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Aranwa Reserve Pinot Noir 2023 showcases the elegance and freshness that Argentina's cooler vineyard sites can achieve. Benefiting from warm sunny days and cool Andean nights, the grapes develop vibrant fruit, refined structure and excellent natural acidity, resulting in a beautifully balanced expression of Pinot Noir.
The 2023 vintage has produced a bright, expressive wine with aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, complemented by delicate floral notes, subtle spice and a hint of forest floor. The palate is silky and fresh, with fine tannins, lively acidity and layers of juicy red berry fruit leading to a long, elegant finish with a gentle savoury edge.
A superb match for roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or herb-roasted chicken, this is a versatile Pinot Noir that offers immediate appeal while retaining the balance to drink beautifully over the next three to five years.

Vintage report
The 2023 vintage in Mendoza arrived with its own particular rhythm. Spring brought adequate rainfall to replenish the soils after several drier years, though producers had to stay alert during flowering to manage the increased humidity. Summer unfolded with the kind of temperature swings that make Mendoza tick: hot days balanced by those crucial cool nights that flow down from the Andes, preserving acidity whilst allowing phenolic ripening to proceed at its own pace.
What emerged from the cellars shows Mendoza at its most expressive. The Malbecs display that wonderful combination of concentrated dark fruit and mineral backbone that comes when the vines have enough water early on but must work a bit harder later in the season. Cabernet Sauvignon benefited particularly well from the conditions, producing wines with structure and depth that should reward patience. Most 2023s are drinking beautifully now, offering immediate pleasure, though the better examples will happily cellar until 2035 or beyond.
