Ulithorne "Paternus" Old Vines McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
Paternus Shiraz
The Paternus Shiraz presents a deep garnet-red colour. On the nose, the aromas are elegantly structured with notes of red forest berries followed by fine spices. The palate imparts plentiful fruit with characters of blackberry, cherry and plum, followed by hints of pepper spice. The depth and length displayed by the wine is beautifully balanced by medium acidity and finely structured tannins.
