Mount Pleasant O.P. & O.H. Shiraz 2022

The Mount Pleasant Old Paddock and Old Hill Shiraz blend is a true classic of the Hunter Valley, sourced exclusively from vines dating back to 1880. Crafted since the mid-1960s, it embodies the structural and powerful essence of the region's revered variety. Aromas of fecund earth, blood plum, and licorice intertwine with a peppery streak, leading to a mid-weighted and intensely savory palate. Awards and reviews laud its thrilling intensity, firm yet balanced tannins, and excellent persistence. With notes of red and dark fruits, licorice, and spice, its savory palate boasts beautifully balanced tannins and natural acidity. Enjoyable now, this cellar worthy red promises over 25 years of maturation potential.
