Planted in 1969, Moss Wood is an important, founding estate of the Margaret River wine region. Currently producing some of their finest wines ever, the Chardonnay is consistently rated one of the region's benchmarks.
The Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay 2025 is a vibrant, sophisticated expression of Margaret River. It leads with a fragrant bouquet of lemon curd, white peach, and grapefruit, underscored by complex notes of cashew and vanilla oak. On the palate, the wine balances rich intensity with refreshing acidity and a seamless, creamy texture. While approachable now for its lively stone fruit and citrus characters, it possesses the structural poise to age beautifully for several years.
"94 Points. Pale colour. Fresh tropical fruit, lemon curd, grapefruit aromas with underlying cashew nut, vanilla notes. Well concentrated lemon curd, grapefruit, hint pineapple fruits, fine lacy touch al dente textures and some underlying marzipan, vanilla notes. Finishes crisp and fruity. A very pleasing style. At the middle of fermentation, the wine was racked into 228-litre French oak barriques (32% new), to complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Nine months in oak for around nine months."- Andrew Caillard, The Vintage Journal23 April 2025
