Vitis vinifera ‘Ulliade’
‘Bunches, medium sized, and with long stalks. Berries, large, oval, uniform in size, and dangling from long stalks. Skin, thin, of a dark purplish black colour, and covered with bloom. Flesh, firm and crackling, juicy, sweet, and of a rich vinous flavour. The vine is a very abundant bearer, and ripens its fruit in a cool vinery, but to have it in perfection it requires the same treatment as the Frontignans. It is a delicious grape.’ [Hogg – Fruit Manual p.400/1884].
Horticultural & Botanical History

History at Camden Park
Listed in all published catalogues as ‘Ulliade’ [Vines for Table Only no.6/1843]. ‘389-3’ is written next to the name in the 1843 and 1845 catalogues. This number, and all similar, is the reference number of the grape in Busby’s collections, in the 1840s held at the Sydney Botanic Garden. In this case it refers to no. 389 of Busby’s third or Montpelier collection.
