Moss Wood 2024 Autrement Pinot Noir – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post

Darker, fleshier, and more fruit forward than the flagship Pinot Noir by Moss Wood. Cherries, cherry stones, plum, wild strawberries, hints of citrus peel and black tea, perhaps a touch of pepper on the nose. Medium-bodied and concentrated on the palate, those darker fruit qualities transition through from the nose with further savoury complexity delivered through notes of earth, thyme and a subtle vanilla sweetness. Lovely drinking and a very nice new addition to the line up.

Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Huon Hooke,The Real Review

Flat image of Amy’s Cuvée Blanc, with wine pouring into a glass
Light, bright yellow, deeper in colour than most of its age. There is a touch of spicy, toasty oak on the nose that goes with the deeper colour, while the palate is rich and deep, full flavoured and dry with a good backbone of phenolics, the entirety beautifully presented as a full-bodied, powerful, attention grabbing style of dry white wine.

Moss Wood 2024 Amy’s – Huon Hooke, The Real Review

Deep dark purple-red; intense, essency cassis, dark plum, violets and toasty oak on the nose, the palate succulent and fruit-sweet, with almost lush presence and a touch of graphitey tannin on the finish. Full bodied, rich and ripe—an almost opulent wine. A little more time will soften it further.

Moss Wood 2024 Autrement Pinot Noir – Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot

The name “Autrement,” meaning “in another way” in French, reflects Moss Wood’s journey in Pinot Noir discovery. This wine is crafted from fruit sourced in the southern Karridale region, 60 kilometers south of Moss Wood’s Wilyabrup base. Moss Wood has a history of exploring pinot noir from different regions, including Pemberton (1991–2003) and Mornington Peninsula (2008–2010). In 2024, a hot season, the southern vineyards performed admirably. The wine is made from three different clones, contributing to its complexity. It displays a bright crimson colour and a nose dominated by primary red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries, with a faint hint of truffle. The palate is structured with a bony thread typical of Pinot Noir, balanced by good fruit density and juiciness. Flavours of red fruits, dried herbs, and truffle create a compelling combination. Enjoyable for early or medium-term drinking, it also has the structure to age gracefully.

Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot

Flat image of Amy’s Cuvée Blanc, with wine pouring into a glass
A completely new release from Moss Wood, this edition is largely Semillon with a small influence of Sauvignon Blanc. Barrel fermentation adds distinctive texture and complexity. The wine shows a pale, typical colour, while the nose opens with punchy, fragrant, zesty lemon and subtle passion fruit notes. There’s a spicy, slightly nutty character from the small amount of oak.  The palate is crisp, bright, and energetic, with deep flavours of citrus and stone fruit. A thoroughly enjoyable new release from Moss Wood.

Moss Wood 2024 Amy’s – Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, this wine displays a deep, dark colour with subtle crimson hues. The nose is ripe with blackcurrant and plummy characters, complemented by a lifted aromatic perfume. On the palate, deep, succulent dark fruit flavours are supported by fine, firm tannins, providing excellent structure. The oak is well-integrated, enhancing the wine without overpowering it. Moss Wood Amy’s 2024 is ideal for medium-term drinking, allowing the prominent primary fruit characters to shine.

Moss Wood 2024 Chardonnay – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post

This is excellent. Lemons, lemon rinds, pith, grapefruit, fleshy white nectarines, marzipan, and almonds with wafts of minerally ocean spray and quartz. Medium-full on the palate, beautifully textured and almost perfect in concentration. Lemon and white grapefruit, panna cotta, ginger, honey, sea spray.

Everything is so very well done and balanced. Lovely length and flavour persistence. It’s bang on and worth every penny of the ticket price.

Moss Wood 2023 Pinot Noir – Angus Hughson, The Vintage Journal

If ever the team at Moss Wood were going to craft a Pinot Noir to convince the doubters of what can be achieved with this variety in Margaret River, then surely the brilliant 2023 vintage would be the one to do it. This is their 45th consecutive release of their Pinot. Good luck finding many wineries from the more highly regarded regions in the country which can match that. The vines were originally planted in 1973, and they have actually made 46 vintages, but an early one was ravaged by birds. Maturation was for a year and a half in French oak barriques, 18% of which were new. Fermentation saw the use of 20% whole bunches. Crimson/cherry red in colour, this is a silky style. The great vintage comes through and the quality is evident from the beginning. The nose gives us notes of red cherries, tobacco leaves, dried herbs, leaf litter and even a touch of blueberries. There is balance, focus and very good length through to satiny tannins. It will drink well for the next eight to ten years. Drink 2028–2035.

Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Winsor Dobbin, Wine of the Week

Here’s a classic regional blend of semillon and sauvignon blanc from one of the founding wine producers in Margaret River; albeit with a difference. The Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvée Blanc is a new addition to the range. It is semillon-driven and barrel fermented to add texture and complexity. That sets it apart from its regional rivals with its palate weight and interest. There are vivacious tropical and herbaceous notes on the palate, savoury elements, oaky hints and impressive balance. One for short-term enjoyment. Pair with blackened fish for a fun food and wine match.
