These vines, now more than a century old, are situated on Mount Pleasants historic hillside vineyards. An excellent 2007 vintage has inspiried a rich, elegant and skillfully crafted Maurice O'Shea Shiraz, featuring sweet berry fruit, mocha and chocolate notes supported by delicate french oak and fine velvety tannins. Sealed under screwcap, this quintessential Hunter Valley Shiraz will reward careful cellaring for up to fourteen years from vintage. Blend: Shiraz 14.8% ALC Region: Hunter Valley Cellaring Potential: Will improve still with another 10+ years Awards/Trophies: "People will still be talking about this wine twenty years after this book is landfill. It's both the (humbling) truth and the glory of wine. This wine could not come from anywhere other than the Hunter Valley. It's distinctly earthen; it combines sweetness and savouriness to prefection; the flavours go on and on, and the combination of history and the pure tastes of it virtually guarantee that it will be glorious when it's fully mature. It doesn't come cheap, and yet it's obvious that this wine is a great gift to the wine loving community." -Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh, 2010/2011 Big Red Wine Book
