Mount Pleasant Rosehill Single Vineyard Shiraz 2024

Share

Planted in 1946 and later plantings in 1965. This bottling takes fruit from the lower Northern aspect that makes the use of its slow ripening. There is a charm to this wine, with friendly affable ripe red fruits, rhubarb and blood plum. Some strawberry cream too, silky tannins and a pulp like consistency that nestle into the front of your palate. Perhaps a portion of new oak, some warm cocoa tones make themselves known. This cuddles into your soul and makes you feel right at home. Another wine for arresting your heart and falling into love with the sites of Mount Pleasant. Pair with lasagna the oozey gooey kind. Drink now or cellar mid term for 4-6 years.
