Urlar Sauvignon Blanc 2011

The 2011 vintage has delivered zesty gooseberry, passionfruit, and citrus flavours with a hint of capsicum.  While it remains a distinctively New Zealand sauvignon blanc the palate is full with great weight and length.  The wine is suited to all occasions but particularly well matched to seafood.

ABOUT URLAR

"Economic and environmental sustainability are our driving principals"

These practices are about giving life back to the soil and managing the vineyard as a balanced sustainable farming unit. This includes organic practices such as recycling through composts and liquid manures and increasing plant bio diversity through inter-row crops. Our own Highland cow herd provide the manure to drive our composting process.

Using the biodynamic farming and gardening calendar, the rhythmic influences of the sun, moon, planets and stars are recognised and worked where possible.

This commitment has been recognised and rewarded recently when we won the Hills Harvest and Gallagher Innovation Awards.

The result is beautiful, clean, hand crafted wines that have not impacted negatively on the soils as they have been created.
