There’s a new and delicious addition to the Moss Wood range – Autrement Pinot Noir 2024

Veteran Winemaker Keith Mugford has sourced grapes from Margaret River’s cool southern district Karridale, a full 60 kms south of Moss Wood’s Wilyabrup home.

The result? A refreshing and lively Pinot With red and blue fruits that finishes with some clay and earthen character. It’s earlier drinking wine than its Wilyabrup Pinot Noir stablemate. 

Very interesting to taste side by side. Autrement has more whole bunch for flavour and tannins and less time in oak. But the differences are mostly terroir. 

In summary, a stylish, top shelf Pinot that will presumably become a staple in the Moss Wood range. 

And like the long-established Moss Wood Pinot Noir, Autrement demonstrates that Marg’s Pinot can hold its own with Noirs from more lauded Australian and New Zealand Pinot regions.
