Wine Description
Maurice O'Shea was a pioneer of Australian wine, creating long-lived, highly celebrated wines from the 1920's through to the 1950's that were admired the world over. Named in Maurice O'Shea's honour, this wine was crafted using the very best rigorously selected parcels from the Mount Pleasant Estate to create a wine that firmly speaks of its Hunter Valley home.

Winemaker's Bio
Winemaking was a natural calling for Adrian ‘Sparksy’ Sparks. He carries the experience of over 20 vintages and is a highly respected and acclaimed Australian winemaker.
Although Adrian has always had a keen interest in the terroir the Hunter valley provides, he has travelled extensively throughout the wine regions of Europe and North America, coupled with vintages in Southern France. These experiences forged his appreciation of the industry, and the unique interplay that art and science provide, to create wine that illustrates a true sense of place. He is the 5th person to hold the post in Mount Pleasant’s 100 year history, following in the footsteps of legendary winemaker, Maurice O’Shea.
Wine after wine, year after year, Adrian has established himself as a true artist of winemaking, who excels in shaping his wines into something truly special.
Accompanied by his enthusiasm, wit and terrible jokes, the Medich family is proud to have him leading our team of spirited professionals as the Chief Winemaker and General Manager of Mount Pleasant Wines.
