Bright, deep colour with a good tint of purple; reserved and shy bouquet with hints of blackberry, the palate medium-full bodied and elegantly weighted, with fine and understated tannins, pleasing flavour and balance on the aftertaste where it has line and length. A serious shiraz from a top vintage that impresses the more you sip it.

Jim from Mount Pleasant accentuates a Shiraz with a cleanly structured mulberry and redcurrant with soft liquorice notes and a persistent high quality backbone.

A delicious Hunter Shiraz from a stunning vintage. Peter and his team have really been kicking goals over the last few years. In the glass: Fresh deep red. On the nose: Deluxe oak spice over vanilla, bergamot, red cherry and white pepper. On the palate: Flavour-packed with red and black fruits, lifted black pepper and herb spice, refined and satiny oak before a long finish.

Elizabeth Semillon was first made by Mount Pleasant in 1967. Named for Her Majesty and inspired by the first royal visit to Australia in 1954, its appropriate that age only adds to this classic Hunter Valley Semillons character and class. This really is something special- James Halliday on the 2010 vintage Grapefruit and cut grass greet the nose, and the palate is at once energetic and fleshy, a stream of fine acidity lending freshness. Elizabeth is built for the ages, and will evolve gracefully with careful cellaring.

Brokenwood and the Hunter Valley region is experience somewhat of a renaissance of late. Quality wines for a great prices just like this nice Hunter Shiraz. Typical earthy notes with hints of leather and spice all wrapped around dark brooding plum and cherry fruit. Quality oak imparts a subtle cedar character and fine grained tannins complete the wine that finishes long and smooth.

A fresh take on a sparkling. Using 100% Semillon from estate fruit grown in southern New South Wales helps produce a wine full of tangy fruit and a richness on the palate.
