Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon 2014
A long-term regional classic whose rather ripe and forward aromas of peach, melon and citrusy notes are lifted by a floral scent of apple blossom. Its piercingly, unusually intense flavours of lime juice and lemon move down a taut, racy palate with rare depth and focus for this style, culminating in a tangy, citrusy finish.

Winery
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.
