Named in honour of legendary winemaker Maurice O’Shea’s father, Philip, this wine represents the approachable, drink-now style of Shiraz for which the Hunter is renowned, while still delivering structure and authenticity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from estate vineyards and selected growers in the Lower Hunter, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and matured in older French oak, allowing the pure fruit and regional character to shine without heavy oak influence. It’s a wine that speaks more of refinement and heritage than of power or showiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with red plum, mulberry, pepper and a touch of clove, with underlying notes of earth and dried herbs. On the palate, it is medium bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity, offering flavours of blackberry, black cherry, savoury spice and a hint of graphite. There’s a long, clean finish with just enough grip to add structure without heaviness. \u003cstrong\u003eMount Pleasant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90 Pts therealreview.com\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Ferrous earth aromas, along with violets, dried herbs, cherry and spice.
