Continuing one of Maurice O'Shea's greatest traditions of naming wines after friends and family, the McWilliam's Mount Pleasant Family Collection consists of ‘Elizabeth', ‘Florence,' ‘Philip,' and ‘Jack.'
Inspired by the first visit of a reigning monarch to Australia in 1954, today McWilliam's Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon is the embodiment of the synergy achieved by combining the noble grape Semillon and the Hunter Valley. Crisp, lively and refreshing, this wine is made for immediate enjoyment.
The name 'Florence' has been reintroduced to the McWilliam's Mount Pleasant range after an absence of some 50 years. The original McWilliam's Mount Pleasant Florence was released in 1953 and named after the wife of Maurice O'Shea's close friend David Reuben. A refreshing and racy Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, this wine celebrates the spirit of friendship.
Since the inaugural 1965 vintage, McWilliam's Mount Pleasant Philip Shiraz has personified McWilliam's distinguished family history which dates back more than 130 years. Ironically sharing the same name, McWilliam's Mount Pleasant winemaker Phil Ryan, has led the winemaking of this medium-bodied, fruit rich Shiraz for well over 30 years.
The newest member of the family, McWilliam's Mount Pleasant Jack Cabernet Sauvignon pays tribute to Lawrence John 'Jack' McWilliam, the eldest of four McWilliam brothers who championed Australian wine through its renaissance in the 20th century. Sourced from the famous soils of Coonawarra, this exciting Cabernet Sauvignon celebrates the life of one of Australian wine's greatest characters.
