Where are Urlar wines made?

The vineyards are situated on free-draining, alluvial soils that contribute to the complexity and minerality of the wines. The proximity to the Tararua Ranges provides shelter from harsh weather, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop concentrated flavours.

These sustainable practices also contribute to the purity and balance of the wines, with minimal intervention in both the vineyard and winery.
