Ulster Park Wines is a family-owned winery in Clare Valley, producing small-batch, premium wines from dry-grown vineyards in Auburn. Originally an award-winning dairy farm, the property was transformed into a vineyard in 1998, focusing on Shiraz and Pinot Gris. The winery’s flagship wine, “Matriarch” Shiraz, is a tribute to the land’s history and the family’s deep connection to the region.
With a commitment to quality and sustainability, Ulster Park Wines produces wines that reflect the region’s unique terroir. From the elegant and structured Shiraz to the crisp and vibrant Pinot Gris, each wine is crafted to be approachable yet expressive. Their sparkling wine, "Fernilee," celebrates tradition with a classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while the "Three Faithfuls" Rosé pays homage to the loyal vineyard dogs that accompany the winemaking process.
