Wine Description
The late Maurice O'Shea planted the Lovedale vineyard in 1946 with incredible foresight, recognising that the unique structure of the land and the surrounding environment would deliver the tightness and acidity for world-class Semillon. This wine provides exceptional drinking now or can be carefully cellared up to fifteen years or more from vintage.
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.
