The Aravin label is the ‘retirement project' of Evan and Kay Moore of Dunedin who purchased their 7 ha site on Hillview Road in Alexandra in 1997. Planted to Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, these varietals are made by Antony Worsch of Alexandra Vintners, and released along with a rosé wine. Of particular note is the 2007 Pinot Noir, which won the Champion Pinot Noir and Reserve Wine of the Show trophies at the 2009 Bragato Wine Awards. The wines have continued to feature in the medal winners' circle since. www.aravin.co.nz
