Mount Pleasant

One of the Best Australian Wineries Rated by James Halliday

It was by the light of a gas lantern, the story of Mount Pleasant was created. It was 1921 and Maurice O’Shea wasn’t afforded the luxury of electricity. Equipped with only basic tools and an old basket press, O’Shea brought Mount Pleasant to life. More than 90 years on, the equipment and names have evolved, but the principles and the vineyards remain the same. Along with a philosophy of honouring O’Shea’s legacy through individual wines, special sites and celebrated styles.

Mount Pleasant’s award winning history dates back to its early beginnings, a tradition of success which continues today. The winery is one of the most awarded in Australia, with an incredible five Championships, 128 trophies and 2100 medals since the late 1970s.
