It’s the Mount Pleasant Lovedale Vineyard Cellar Aged Semillon 2021. The only thing longer than the title of the wine is the length of the finish. Here’s the annoying click journey. I wrote about the context of the wine and the moment the quality of the wine struck me in the news article [The Vineyard Maurice O'Shea Planted, Reborn in the Glass], and then wrote a review [Mount Pleasant Lovedale Vineyard Cellar Aged Semillon 2021], because I had to.
