Ulithorne
Ulithorne
McLaren Vale, Australia
The 30 acre Ulithorne Vineyard was first planted in 1950 by Bob Whiting, with its hilly, terraced rows overlooking the sea, bordering McLaren Vale’s Onkaparinga River National Park. In 1997, Rose Kentish and husband Sam Harrison leased and subsequently purchased the vineyard, growing their holdings steadily and sustainably, including planting a further 14 acres of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon on the north facing hills, and purchasing the adjacent 25 acres to plant Merlot and Shiraz. Over their two decades at the helm, Ulithorne became a highly regarded portfolio of red wines.
With a change in ownership in the beginning of 2017, Ulithorne is now run by Matt Copping and Ryan Kinghorn, who continue to honour the legacy of their predecessors and their minimalist winemaking philosophy.
