Urlar (pron. er-lar):
A Scottish Gaelic word that means "of the Earth"
Economic and environmental sustainability are our driving principles.
These practices are about giving life back to the soil and managing the vineyard as a balanced sustainable unit. This includes organic practices such as recycling through composts and liquid manures and increasing plant bio diversity.
Using the biodynamic farming and gardening calendar, the rhythmic influences of the sun, moon, planets and stars are recognized and worked where possible.
The result is beautiful, clean, true wines that have not impacted negatively on the soil as they have been crafted.
With love for every detail
Our wine collection reflects the nature of our environment
Our 31-hectare single vineyard is located on ancient free-draining soils and our planned inter-row crop rotation will maintain healthy soils full of life and biodiversity.
In the future every few years, random rows will be planted in a variety of plants and wild flowers. These flowers, such as buckwheat, lupin, stinging nettle, dandelion and yarrow will provide crucial protection to the vineyard as they attract beneficial insects that will kill off unwanted pests and predators that can destroy the vines, leaves or roots.
