Cellar Release

Mount Pleasant Cellar Release showcases some of Australia’s most critically acclaimed wines. The wines are benchmark styles, allowed to rest in cellar and only released when the winemaker considers them at their peak. It’s an investment in time, a reward for the wine lover.

| Awards | Tasting Notes |

Mount Pleasant Philip Shiraz is a classic Hunter Valley red which has been enjoyed by Australian wine lovers for more than 35 years. A unique style not dominated by tannin or alcohol; the wine displays beautiful earthy fruit characters.

Bottle aged for approximately four years prior to release, Philip Shiraz was first marketed in 1965. Normally picked in February, fermentation on skins takes place over 7-8 days in headed down stainless steel containers with pumping over twice daily. The wine is then transferred to into seasoned American oak where primary fermentation and malolactic fermentation is completed. Every six months the wine is racked off and returned to the same oak for maturation for around 18 months.
