Mount Pleasant Old Pad Shiraz 2021 delivers classic Barossa depth with refined structure. Dense black fruit, mocha and spice over a sturdy tannin backbone characterize this Shiraz from a respected producer. A robust pairing for grilled red meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses; enjoyable now with a short decant and capable of aging gracefully for 5–10 years.
