Moss Wood 2023 Semillon – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Points: 94
Rating: Stars

Gee, they’ve turned out an excellent Semillon in 2023. No oak employed here.

Ripe green apple, quince, lime leaf, citrus blossom, a little spice and jalapeño. It’s flavoursome, but balanced, with a fine grip, green melon and citrus, arrowroot biscuits, and a bright and long finish offering lime zest and some exotic tropical fruits, maybe yellow kiwi fruit or something like that. It’s a delight, and sure, a bolder expression of Semillon, but with excellent balance and intensity of fruit. I think one of the best releases of this wine for some time.
