Mount Pleasant Rosehill Shiraz 2022

Rosehill 1965 vines is a distinguished site featuring three small blocks, each uniquely planted to provide remarkable contrast on the same soil type. Highly acclaimed, it offers deep red-purple hues and aromas of pepper, terracotta, and earthiness, with a firmly structured palate and exceptional persistence, earning it a stellar 96 points from Huon Hooke. Kasia Sobiesiak praises its green tea leafiness, floral prettiness, and tightly packed, fine-grained tannins, awarding it 95+ points. Ned Goodwin highlights its denseness, with notes of clove, anise, and violet, and its resolute mid-weighted freshness, rating it 95 points. The wine's intense red and blue fruits, spice, toast, and violet undertones create a rich palate with svelte tannins and beautiful acidity. Vinified and matured separately, one parcel includes around 15% whole bunches, with fermentation in large format French oak barrels. After 11 months, the wine is blended and bottled, promising both immediate enjoyment and cellaring potential.
