Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon 2004
Generous and quite richly textured, this relatively early-maturing Elizabeth has a buttery, toasty bouquet of lemon and melon-like fruit backed by nuances of honey and candy. Its fresh, forward and tangy palate of melon and citrus flavour overlies with suggestions of cloves, nutmeg and bathpowder. ItÕs quite viscous for this style, but does finish with a clean and refreshing acidity.

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.
