Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2024 Elsa – Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog

Rating: Stars

Moss Wood Elsa 2024 captures the fun, freshness and fruit forward character of Sauvignon Blanc but with extra gravitas courtesy of high quality oak.
There’s Sauvignon Blanc and then there’s Sauvignon Blanc for Chardonnay drinkers!
In a low yielding, warm and fast vintage Elsa has concentration and the playfulness we all enjoy in the variety – ripe kiwi, pineapple, lime tart, some spiced pear.
Fermentation and 9 months aging in new oak provide wight, breath and texture.  A little seriousness…
But there is no escaping that it’s delicious!
