Mount Pleasant has played a key role in the history of Modern Australian winemaking. The winery was established in 1921 by the legendary winemaker Maurice O’Shea.

First created in 1987 as a tribute to the greatest winemaker in Australia, Maurice O’Shea. This wine is a blend of our greatest barrels, from our best vineyards, creating wines of place and excitement. Exclusively estate grown, the grapes are sourced from the Old Hill planted in 1880, the Old Paddock planted in 1921 and Rosehill in 1946, delivering a wine that will reward the collectors, the connoisseurs and all those who love wines.

Full bodied, rich, and dense with impressive length and fruit concentration. Intense red and black fruits, delicate tannin's structure and savoriness with great balanced acidity. 

Tasting Notes

"Fruit sourced from the Old Hill, Old Paddock and Rosehill Vineyards. Matured in 20% new large format French oak for 14 months. This is a truly sensational release. It has flow, fruit and form, but the drama is in the finish, which shoots majestically into the distance. This wine pretty much has it all. It fans classic regional red flavours across the palate; its core is strong and pure; its balance would do a yoga instructor proud; and it has X-factor up to its eyeballs." 98 Points - Halliday Wine Companion, Campbell Mattinson (2021).
