McWilliam's
Mount Pleasant Maurice O'Shea Chardonnay

| Awards | Tasting Notes |

Maurice O’Shea Chardonnay – considered McWilliam’s flagship Chardonnay – is made from the best parcel of Chardonnay fruit available to Mount Pleasant. This is invariably the mature vines on elevated, rich, deep volcanic loam soils of the Old Hill Vineyard. The average age of the Chardonnay vines is 20 years old.

The sister wine to Maurice O’Shea Shiraz, this wine is made from selected super-premium parcels of Chardonnay grapes handpicked in February. Inoculated in an aromatic yeast, the wine completes the majority of fermentation time in 100 per cent new French oak hogsheads. The wine is the matured in the same oak for up to nine months with regular stirring on lees to add creamy dimensions. A portion of the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation.
