2017 Mount Pleasant 1880 Vines Old Hill Vineyard Shiraz 750ml
Mount Pleasant 1880 Vines Old Hill Vineyard Shiraz 2017
The oldest 1880 plantings of the Old Hill at Mount Pleasant are rare ancestral vines producing intense, structural and powerful Shiraz.
"Hand picked in three passes, three-day cold soak, nine days on skins, 12 months in French oak. Aromas of fresh earth and leather are matched by red berry and plum fruits, all replayed on the medium-bodied palate. It's the overall juicy freshness and elegance that define this wine and its terroir." 98 Points, James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
The famed estate of Mount Pleasant has a well-storied past, founded by the visionary of Australian wine, Maurice O’Shea. It includes plantings of ancestral vines of 1880, as well as Australia’s oldest mother vine Pinot Noir planted in 1921 by O’Shea himself. It is the home of some of the first fine wines of Australia, and with just five winemakers over its 100-year history, it has maintained its status as a benchmark of the Hunter classics, Shiraz and Semillon.
