2018 Mount Pleasant Estate Shiraz 6 Pack

2024 Halliday Wine Companion

A testament to a trifecta of a great vintage, balance and sensitivity. Open fermented, three-day cold soak, 10 days on skins, gentle plunging and pumping over, matured for 12 months in oak (10% new). The bouquet is highly expressive, with red and purple fruits to the fore in a juicy entry to the mouth, and right on cue, fine-spun earthy tannins. The ultimate drink now or decades to come.

Ripe red fruit, aniseed, a rosy perfume, some spiced biscuit oak and earthy things. Medium-bodied, plum and raspberry, fine-grained tannin, a quiet succulence and classic Hunter Shiraz character. It’s juicy and flavoursome, cool clean acidity to balance, and offers a pretty long finish with plenty of sweet raspberry flavour and discreet perfume. Really good. A lovely calm expression of regional Shiraz. Rating: 92 Points Source: Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
