"This is unapologetically savoury, its superfine tannins not unlike those of nebbiolo. Cloves replace dark chocolate, black berries and black cherries are the Lords of Darkness, or the translation of the Latin name of this wine, 'fruit of the earth'." – 97 Points, James Halliday

Why do we love this wine?
Welcome to Ulithorne’s flagship wine. All parents say they don’t have a favourite child, but we’re pretty sure this would be the one if you were to ask them. Picking the premium, low-yielding fruit from their vineyards, they’ve succeeded in creating a magnificently concentrated wine. Make no mistake, this is a big red wine. Juicy, plump, and fine grained. There’s some parcels of fruit that go into American oak, and some in French. Some new and some old. It hits all the notes and comes together in a symphony of black and blue fruits. We’ve been lucky to taste the Frux Frugis at 20 years of age, and we can attest to its strong ageing potential. C’mon, that review from James Halliday really speak for itself on this one. But if we were to give you a short review from our team, it’d be this: don’t pass on the opportunity to get this in your glass.
