From the oldest vines on Ulithorne’s estate vineyard comes this dark and deep Vale shiraz.
96 Points; Sam Kim Wine Orbit "Gloriously rich and complex"
Sourced from a premium private cellar

Description
Ulithorne produces small quantities of red wines from selected parcels of grapes from its estate vineyard in McLaren Vale, planted in 1950 by Bob Whiting. These rare and high-quality wines are crafted to always consider the fruit first – ensuring that the final wine celebrates all that is unique in the flavours and structure of the fruit taste, as it ripens in the vineyard.
The Paternus Shiraz is deeply coloured, it explodes with blackberry, liquorice and tarry fruits with coffee grounds oak. The palate is then bold and dense with lashings of dark fruit which are nicely lifted by spice and earth before a long and strong finish. Impressive and worth keeping some in the cellar to enjoy over the next decade.
