This is the wine URLAR is best known for: a certified organic, vegan-friendly, single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Gladstone in New Zealand's Wairarapa region. Fermented to showcase true site expression, with a small portion of whole bunch in the blend and 8 months maturing in French oak, it's an unfiltered wine that lets the vineyard speak for itself.

Aroma

Warming, toasty oak complements wild raspberries and bright ruby-red tamarillo.

Tastes

Soft and silky, with melting tannins lifted by nutmeg and cinnamon spice. An approachable yet genuinely good glass of Wairarapa Pinot Noir, drinking beautifully now or over the next 5-10 years. Pour it with a Sunday roast, mushroom risotto, or good friends around the table.
