Mount Pleasant
Winery Overview
At Mount Pleasant we watch over
some of Australia’s most historic
and precious vineyards. Founded
in 1921 by the legendary Maurice
O’Shea, whose story and character
is as compelling and transformative
as the wines he produced. His
contribution to Australian wine cannot
be understated: he is recognised
for setting the standard for modern
Australian winemaking. His ‘fanatical
perfectionism’ saw him create Mount
Pleasant’s signature style of elegance,
balance and exceptional longevity.
For over 100 years, Mount Pleasant
has produced iconic, elegant and
expressive wines, championing the
fruit and individual character of our
four vineyard sites. Our rare ancestral
vines include some of the oldest clone
plantings in the country, and make
our Old Hill vineyard the oldest
Pinot Noir vineyard in Australia.
Mount Pleasant wines let you discover
the unique Hunter Valley signature:
wines with an ‘old world’ elegance and
exceptional balance.
