Ultra-delicious the Mt Hillary McLaren Vale Shiraz 2009. This has everything fans of big Aussie Shiraz would want. Inky black with flavours of dark plums, chocolate and cherries. Irresistible drinking - yum. As described by Sue Courtney, NZ Wine Writer.

Teresa Nobilo granddaughter of pioneering New Zealand winemaker Nikola Nobilo OBE and David Healy past pupil of Blackrock College Class of ‘91 have embarked on a journey together.

The soul aim of Mt Hillary is to craft a range of premium wines that are a true and honest example of pure regional, varietal and winemaker expression.
