2023 Mount Pleasant Mount Henry Shiraz Pinot Noir

The Mount Henry is Mount Pleasant's ode to the legendary Hunter Valley Shiraz and Pinot Noir blends of the 1950s and 1960s.

The fruit is lovingly handpicked and destemmed, then fermented and pressed separately - the Shiraz going to tank, the Pinot going to oak, and both left to sit in their respective vessels for six months before being blended together.

This is the perfect entry point into the sublime heritage range of red wines from this historic Hunter Valley estate.

Complex, classy and beautifully balanced is the name of the game, and it's a winner for sure.

"Boysenberry, biscuit spice, violet and dried rose perfume. Medium-bodied, purple fruit, some grain and grip to tannin, structure is good, acidity sits very well, and there’s quite a volume of fruit, and the length is excellent, and savoury too. Lovely wine, and I think it offers something different that lifts it above, hence the score."
