Proudly family owned, Urlar Estate produces outstanding single vineyard wines using organic and biodynamic principles.

Urlar is a Gaelic word that means “The Earth”.  Our desire is to bring an abundance of life back to our ancient soils so you can discover the purity of flavour inherent in the land.

Our journey from the highlands of Scotland to the stony soils and cool climate of Gladstone, Wairarapa has cemented our love for all things pure and true.  We are thrilled to present our stunning range of wine for you to enjoy.

Heavenly food and wine matches

As winter draws close the sheep are in the vineyard mowing the grass and the vines lay dormant awaiting their annual pruning.  This is also a great time for us to reflect on the past year. 

This recipe is great to make on a wet winter afternoon whilst enjoying a glass of Urlar wine.  Click here to see recipe Angus's homemade pizza base and tomato sauce.
