WINE REVIEWS

Winestate Tasting by Michael Cooper – Feb 2011

Urlar Gladstone Sauvignon Blanc 2010 – 4.5 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.

Urlar Gladstone Pinot Noir 2009 – 5 Stars

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.
