We were very pleased to read in the latest edition of Winestate Magazine that our Urlar Pinot Noir 2009 was voted top Wairarapa Pinot Noir (equal with Palliser Estate’s Pinot Noir 2008). The judges were Michael Cooper, Simon Nunns and Corey Hall who awarded the maximum 5 stars. They wrote “Rich, instantly appealing wine from the northern Wairarapa, full-coloured and generous, deep and finely textured. Very ripe and savoury, with dense, sweet fruit and lovely weight, balance and length.”
Urlar’s Sauvignon Blanc 2010 also faired well with 4 stars; “‘Sweaty armpit’ aromas lead into a fleshy, well rounded, northern Wairarapa wine with ripe nectarine and passionfruit flavours, a hint of herbs, and excellent concentration.”
