Description

Charming from the first pour, Moss Wood Chardonnay reminded me of old school Meursault; Woody, vanilla, nutty, yellow fruits heading towards the exotic and a hint of red apple. The palate is something else, waxy grape and yellow fruits, honey, hazelnuts with a hint of vanilla and toasty oak. It is rich and succulent.

My palate says this wine is a brilliant drink right now. It is sealed under screwcap and very well balanced so it will certainly hold its charm for the mid to long-term too.

The first vines of Moss Wood were planted in 1969. Moss Wood was one of the pioneers of Margaret River and the Wilyabrup sub-region. The Mugfords took ownership in 1985 and have forged a reputation for quality and consistency and wines that will age gracefully for the long-term.
