Mount Pleasant Mount Henry Shiraz Pinot Noir
Lower Hunter Valley
Price Range at Release: $30-$49
Vintage: 2022
Alc %: 13.5
$ Rel: 40
A gentle, charming short to medium-term red blend whose floral bouquet of fiery small red berries and plums reveals a whiff of cracked pepper and eastern spice. It's medium-bodied, smooth and gentle, with a fine, elegant palate whose vivacious black, blue and red fruit flavours are underpinned by notes of beetroot, briar and charcuterie meats, extending down a loose-knit spine towards a lingering and brightly lit finish of licorice and fruit.

Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant was the McWilliam family's beachhead in the Hunter Valley. Today it is owned by the Medich family and remains home to classic, traditional wines made from ancient and important sites. Its efforts with semillon under the Elizabeth and Lovedale labels are the stuff of Hunter legend, while the collection of OP & OH, Maurice O'Shea Shiraz and Rosehill Shiraz represent several of the most historic vineyards in New South Wales. Adrian Sparks, chief winemaker since 2018, has overseen an evolution of a true house style within which the superb old sites can really express themselves. Stylistically, these are Hunter classics of course, but carry more than enough expression and completeness to suggest both the northern Rhone and Burgundy.
