Mount Pleasant Maurice O'Shea Shiraz is the Hunter Valley’s flagship, named after the winery’s pioneering founder. A premium, age‑worthy Shiraz with depth and poise: deep, concentrated black fruits intertwined with chocolate, espresso and spice, underpinned by firm, refined tannins and a long, persistent finish. Built for the cellar, it rewards time in bottle and careful decanting before serving. Pair with grilled lamb, roast beef, or aged cheeses. Cellaring potential: 15+ years.
