Tasting Notes

Mount Pleasant Mount Henry Shiraz Pinot Noir 2025

“Shiraz in Pinot disguise. Seemingly light and delicate, but it has depth and concentration. Beautiful, vibrant colour and perfume. Sweet forest berries, raspberries, some blue, some black too. Aromas are bright, with light shining through, but flavours are dark, deep and spicy. It’s a sunny day in a damp forest. There’s wet bark, rose potpourri here, cherry wood, mint tea, black liquorice, and a medicinal edge to it all, with a bit of iron-like aftertaste. I feel the detail is coming in with time, with air. Let it be in the glass, give it time and say what you will, these two can go together very well, the Shiraz and the Pinot Noir.” 94 Points, Kasia Sobiesiak, Wine Front

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.
