Mount Pleasant 1965 Vines Rosehill Vineyard Shiraz 2017

Rosehill 1965 vines produce an amazing and unique perspective of Shiraz with intense floral aromatics being a signature of this Rosehill vineyard.

“Due to the multilayered nature of Mount Pleasant’s old-vine wines, they need air to reveal their inner beauty. This memorable wine is made from three diverse blocks planted in 1965, which lie within the historic Rosehill Vineyard. It initially presents with a quality, nutty oak overlay and freshly crushed greens. But after a short time, the fruit stretches and unfurls, revealing incredible richness and depth. The dark, plush nature of the fruit is satisfying and intriuging, with clove notes and bunchy green peppercorn spice. The acidity is integrated, the tannins are lithe, and there’s a thread of lemon peel freshness on the close. It is a distinctive wine of true character.”96 Points, Toni Paterson, Halliday Wine Companion

About this Producer

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 Australias 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.
