Origin and Legacy

Produced from Mount Pleasants historic Old Hill and Old Paddock vineyards in the Hunter Valley, the Maurice OShea Shiraz is a tribute to one of Australias most legendary winemakers. The 1995 vintage reflects the elegance and longevity for which this label is renowned.

Vintage and Winemaking
