Tasting Notes

Colour and condition

Nose

Palate

The wine sits in the medium-bodied spectrum, showing generous strawberry and cherry fruit with a fine thread of plum and rhubarb. There is a lively line of acidity and firm but supple tannins that give balance and length. Subtle clove and cedar notes emerge on the finish, together with a touch of smoky oak. The overall impression is of brightness, poise and drive, without excess weight.

This outsider, as in pinot noir in Margaret River, has been part of Moss Wood’s landscape since the ’70s, so it has its own DNA. Lots of strawberry conserve and macerated cherries, all sprinkled with dried mint. Angostura bitters, loads of spices and some nutty, nice oak. It’s refreshing, with lively acidity and supple tannins. Best in the short-term.

Cellaring

The 2023 Pinot Noir is a bright and charming youngster, and can certainly be enjoyed now for its generous fruit and perfume. However, it has the structure to reward long-term ageing. By 8–10 years it will develop classic bottle complexity, with earthy, mushroom and game notes gradually taking centre stage. Full maturity can be expected at 20 years of age and beyond, for those with the patience and cellar space.

The start

Planted in 1969, Moss Wood is a founding estate of the Margaret River wine region. Clare and Keith Mugford have been tending the vineyard and making wine at Moss Wood since 1984 and 1979, respectively. Their exacting viticulture produces grapes of excellent quality, creating a stable of fine wines distinguished by their consistency and ability to age superbly.

PHILOSOPHY

Decisions made in the vineyard and at the winery are based on their impact on wine quality. The Moss Wood and Mugford names are synonymous with uncompromising quality. This small family business now includes two generations of Mugfords who value the vines and the wines and those who work with them at the highest level.
