Moss Wood 2022 Chardonnay – Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog

Rating: 5 Stars

The Moss Wood house style is rich and at the complex end of the Margaret River spectrum. Sourced from the historic Wilyabrup estate vineyard, there is no attempt to force a lean or mineral Chardonnay from the site. It’s full bodied but shapely. 

Lime and nectarine fruit flavours, marmalade and roasted almonds are all on show. All beautifully balanced with a refreshingly long finish. 

It packs a startling intensity which mark it out from more modest Chardonnays and will age for 10+ years for those with the patience to cellar.
