Urlar (pronounced er-lar) is a producer based in New Zealand, with a name that truly reflects their ethos and approach to winemaking. Derived from the Scottish Gaelic word meaning "of the Earth," Urlar is dedicated to creating wines that not only showcase the unique terroir of their region, but also promote sustainability and environmental consciousness.
At Urlar, economic and environmental sustainability are at the heart of everything they do. Instead of simply taking from the land, they focus on giving back, rejuvenating the soil and creating a balanced ecosystem in their vineyard. This is achieved through organic practices such as composting, using liquid manures, and increasing plant diversity.
But their commitment to sustainability doesn't end there. Urlar also utilizes biodynamic farming and gardening methods, which recognize the rhythmic influences of the sun, moon, planets, and stars. By working in harmony with these cosmic forces, they are able to produce wines that are not only delicious, but also in tune with the natural cycles of the Earth.
The result is a range of exquisite wines that are a true reflection of the land they come from. By prioritizing sustainability, Urlar ensures that their wines are clean, pure, and authentic, with no negative impact on the environment. With every sip, you can taste the deep connection Urlar has with the Earth and their commitment to preserving it for generations to come.
