Winemaker Jannine Rickards has quite the CV: from assistant winemaker at Ata Rangi, with stints at Cloudy Bay, Julicher and a spell in the Adelaide Hills, she now runs the ship at Urlar and has her own brand too, Huntress, the wines of which are well worth seeking out. This Urlar Pinot Noir boasts enticing, dark, smoky cherry aromas and a lovely, almost saline note to the long palate, along with fine tension, freshness and good tannins. Another great organic wine from Wairarapa.
