Ulithorne Singularis Shiraz 2021
AU$175
14.5% alcohol, DIAM cork, McLaren Vale.

The grapes for this wine were primarily grown on Ulithorne's 65-year-old dry-grown vineyard in McLaren Vale’s prized Blewitt Springs sub-region.

This is a velvety shiraz with gorgeous purity of fruit and perfectly integrated cedarwood oak. It’s bold and dark-berried but it feels calm, composed and neat. It tastes of both red and black licorice, violets, plums, sweet spices and woodsmoke. It’s immaculate from start to finish; every nuance here is pitch perfect. 94 points.
