So this is a wine that’s been sourced from further south at Karridale, a region that is far cooler than the Wilyabrup sub-region of Moss Wood. Outremont is French for “another way”, and that explains Moss Wood’s sourcing of pinot from another region. There’s a beautiful perfumed red fruit aroma, cherry, and subtle red fruits. The palate is vibrant with high energy, driving those intense red berry characters. Tannins are quite fine and slightly chalky. The oak is neatly integrated, and the fruit intensity builds and then gathers momentum through to a very long finish. This is quite an exciting development for Moss Wood.
