TASTING NOTES FOR Mount Pleasant Rosehill Shiraz Hunter Valley New South Wales 2022

🍷 Appearance
Medium ruby red with bright crimson hues. Clear and vibrant, reflecting a more elegant Hunter Valley style.

👃 Aromas
Highly perfumed and lifted, with red cherry, raspberry and strawberry.
Floral notes, subtle spice and a touch of earth and cedar add complexity, with the classic Rosehill aromatic lift.

👅 Palate
Medium-bodied and beautifully poised, delivering fresh red fruits—cherry, cranberry and plum.
Bright acidity gives the wine energy and precision, while fine oak and spice support without overpowering the fruit.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky and refined with fine-grained tannins.
The finish is long, elegant and savoury, with lingering red fruit, spice and a subtle earthy edge.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Rosehill Shiraz—medium-bodied, perfumed and elegant.
Leans towards a “Hunter Valley Pinot” style, with finesse, freshness and structure rather than weight and power.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, duck, grilled pork or mushroom dishes. Also excellent with charcuterie and herb-crusted meats.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A beautifully refined Shiraz that showcases the elegance of the Hunter Valley at its best.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a lighter, more perfumed red—or a standout straight dozen for lovers of medium-bodied, savoury Shiraz.
