Mount Pleasant is one of the most awarded wineries in Australia. The Hunter Valley is widely regarded as the home of Semillon, and the McWilliam's Mount Pleasant vineyards are the source of some of Australia's finest. Hand harvesting techniques are used to carefully select the fruit, ensuring that only the healthiest and ripest berries are picked. Grapes are delivered to the winery where they are destemmed, crushed and must chilled, allowing the juices to be drained from the skins. Fermentation using a neutral yeast is slow and cool to retain natural fruit flavours. Unoaked and unwooded, the finished wine was stabilized and immediately bottled into an engagingly fruit driven classic dry white. Approx 10.5%
