Mount Pleasant Mount Henry Shiraz Pinot Noir 2024
"I have called this wine the gateway drug to Mount Pleasant’s wine before, but it is also the wine I would choose to drink most frequently in my home, for this suits almost all cuisines, occasions and allowances. The 2024 incarnation being an early vintage shows some very pretty rose and hibiscus florals. Red cherries, translucent lingonberries and dried red clay. Dusty cumin and mocha spice with some savoury oolong tea tannins across the middle palate. It’s lively as all Mount Henry wines often are and acidity manages to flow fairly evenly making for an addictive little sip. A tad more flesh and grab-able curves to this vintage. Might be a nice wine to show off your beef tartare skills. Drink now or will cellar for another 3-5 years further." 95 Points, Shanteh Wale, Wine Pilot
"Blackberry, raspberry, slight dried mint, rosy perfume. a little hazelnut and bacon. Medium-bodied, red fruits mainly, subtle earthiness, a fine grainy grip to tannin, a fresh sappy feel to acidity, with a finish of excellent length, a little toasty oak in the aftertaste. Good release. Give it a few years to settle." 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The 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.
