Tasting Notes
A refined and elegant Australian Shiraz with a distinct character. The Mount Pleasant Shiraz Maurice O'Shea 2017 opens with a layered bouquet of vibrant red berries, dark plums, and delicate hints of spice. On the palate, expect concentrated red fruit flavours supported by polished tannins and a finely balanced structure. The finish is persistent, offering depth and grace with every sip.
This vintage benefits from a complex growing season. Early budburst was followed by a cooler-than-average spring, which delayed ripening and allowed for increased flavour development. A warm December nurtured healthy vine canopies, and the dry conditions of January and February promoted even ripening—culminating in grapes harvested at peak condition.

| Winery | Mount Pleasant, based in the Hunter Valley, was established in 1921 by the legendary winemaker Maurice O’Shea from 16.3 hectares of adjoining parcels of land, which he named Mount Pleasant. As Chief Winemaker, Maurice went on to make some of Australia’s greatest wines and his reputation stands as the grandfather of Australian wine and a pioneer of the industry. Sadly, Maurice O’Shea passed away in 1956, but top-class winemakers have continued his legacy. In 2017, James Halliday was named Mount Pleasant Winery of the Year. In 2018, award-winning winemaker Adrian Sparks took over as the fifth Chief Winemaker and continues producing world-class wines from this renowned estate. |
