Founded in 1921 by the legendary Maurice O’Shea, whose contribution to Australian wine cannot be understated. Widely recognised for setting the standard for modern Australian winemaking, his ‘fanatical perfectionism’ saw him create Mount Pleasant’s signature style of elegance, balance and exceptional longevity. For 100 years, Mount Pleasant has produced iconic, elegant and expressive wines championing the fruit and individual character of our four vineyard sites. The rare ancestral vines include some of the oldest clone plantings in the country. This makes the Old Hill vineyard, while best known for Shiraz, the oldest Pinot Noir vineyard in Australia.

This outstanding premium wine is deep crimson in colour. Intense berry fruit aromas, with hints of delicate oak. The palate is medium bodied, with rich blackcurrant fruit flavours. The tannins are soft & silky smooth. It's drinking beautifully now, but will continue to improve in the bottle.

Domaine Huet L'Echansonne is the leading producer in the Vouvray region of the Loire Valley. It is known for its range of Chenin Blanc wines from that appellation, which are prized for their richness and concentration as well as their great ability to age.

The white 2020 La Pell Blanco Parcela el Vinyet is crafted from a 1.41-hectare vineyard planted in 1889, featuring a unique field blend of over ten grape varieties, including Trobat Blanc, Hebén, Sumoll Blanc, Macabeu, Xarel.lo, and more. The grapes, harvested at three different ripeness stages, were destemmed, barely crushed, and fermented with skins in clay tinajas for four months, undergoing malolactic fermentation. The wine matured in a tinaja, a 500-liter acacia barrel, and glass demijohns, some developing a flor yeast layer. The result is a delicate, floral, and distinctly Mediterranean wine with notes of underbrush and fennel. It offers moderate ripeness and alcohol, showcasing complexity, elegance, and freshness with very tasty flavors and an almost salty finish. Austere and mineral, it is strict and straight, making it a remarkable and nuanced wine

On the nose, prepare for an abundant rush of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and boysenberry, beautifully accented by hints of cracked black pepper, allspice, and a touch of sweet pipe tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and rich, bursting with concentrated dark fruit flavors, a savory herbaceousness, and a long, bright finish supported by supple, well-integrated tannins.

The Mount Pleasant 1880 Old Hill Vineyard Shiraz 2023 is a true testament to the iconic terroir of Hunter Valley. Its deep ruby hue glistens in the glass, inviting you to take a sip. On the nose, aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate dance with hints of spice and earthy notes. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a velvety texture and layers of flavors. Ripe blackcurrant, juicy black cherry, and a touch of vanilla are beautifully balanced by subtle tannins and a long, lingering finish. This Shiraz, crafted by the esteemed Mount Pleasant winery, showcases the unique character and quality of the New South Wales region. It is a wine that will only continue to evolve and improve with time, making it a true collector's treasure. Enjoy now or cellar for years to come.
