O’Shea label honoured with heritage cairn

The Hunter Valley Wine Industry celebrated more of its history recently with the unveiling of a Heritage Cairn acknowledging the “Maurice O’Shea Mount Pleasant Label” at McWilliam’s Mount Pleasant Winery in Pokolbin as a landmark of historical importance. The Hunter Valley Heritage Award was introduced in 2009 to acknowledge landmarks or items of historical importance, which have influenced the course of, or made a significant contribution to, the Hunter Valley Wine Industry. This is the first time the industry has acknowledged the printed works that have formed so much of the present face of the area, reports the Cessnock Advertiser.
