Moss Wood 2024 Chardonnay – Angus Hughson, The Vintage Journal

Points: 96
Rating: Stars

Another superb Margaret River Chardonnay from the team at Moss Wood. Fermentation was completed in French oak barriques, 55% of which were new. Maturation was over a period of a year and a half. Lemon yellow in colour, the wine has a glorious nose, full of notes of mandarins, oyster shells, grilled cashews, stone fruits, ginger, white peaches, lemon curd, florals and citrus. Just stunning. Such a subtle and seductive texture; there is complexity already evident, and an intensity which runs the full length. And what length it is. Always balanced, this is a cracking Chardonnay for drinking over the next ten to twelve years. You know where you can take your similarly priced White Burgs… Drink 2027–2038.
