Mount Pleasant Maurice O'Shea Shiraz 2011

Named in Maurice O'Shea's honour, this wine was crafted using the very best rigorously selected parcels from the Mount Pleasant Estate to create a wine that firmly speaks of its Hunter Valley home.
 
In the glass: Bright crimson.
On the nose: Beautifully spicy and perfumed with intense red and black fruits, leather and earth.
On the palate: A near-perfect vintage has produced an O' Shea that is classically medium- bodied in true Hunter Valley Shiraz style yet with oodles of depth and charm, lovely textural layers and fantastically persistent length.
