Rating: Stars

Many Australian winemakers have a vision for Sauvignon Blanc beyond making a $15 quaffer. Moss Wood are one of those!
Ribbon Vale Elsa 2022 is an elegant and sophisticated white wine.
It’s polished and balanced with flavours of lemon curd, honeysuckle and pear backed up with some richness because of fermentation and ageing in 6% new oak. It’s rounded rather than acidic and in keeping with Moss Wood tradition, it glides along with fruit generosity rather than edginess.
Has top shelf Chardonnay type class!
