Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
Semillon Sauvignon Blanc here. Wonderful freshness and focus on the nose, granny smiths, peach skins, meadow grasses, guava and underripe pineapple. Textured and nudging, rich on the palate, beautiful acidity, drive and concentration. I’d love to see this with a bit of bottle age. Drink 2025-2035 November, 2025

Moss Wood 2024 Autrement Pinot Noir – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
Darker, fleshier, and more fruit forward than the flagship Pinot Noir by Moss Wood. Cherries, cherry stones, plum, wild strawberries, hints of citrus peel and black tea, perhaps a touch of pepper on the nose. Medium-bodied and concentrated on the palate, those darker fruit qualities transition through from the nose…

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2024 Elsa – Jane Faulkner – James Halliday, The Wine Companion
A very classy wine that curtails overt flavour or heaviness with pitch-perfect aromas and flavours. Smoky, citrusy, a touch of spicy oak, a creamy and nutty texture, yet the acidity glides across the palate so lightly. It’s savoury and detailed with an excellent, very dry finish that lingers long. December,…
Read ReviewMoss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Huon Hooke,The Real Review
Light, bright yellow, deeper in colour than most of its age. There is a touch of spicy, toasty oak on the nose that goes with the deeper colour, while the palate is rich and deep, full flavoured and dry with a good backbone of phenolics, the entirety beautifully presented as…

Moss Wood 2024 Amy’s – Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Deep dark purple-red; intense, essency cassis, dark plum, violets and toasty oak on the nose, the palate succulent and fruit-sweet, with almost lush presence and a touch of graphitey tannin on the finish. Full bodied, rich and ripe—an almost opulent wine. A little more time will soften it further. November,…

The name “Autrement,” meaning “in another way” in French, reflects Moss Wood’s journey in Pinot Noir discovery. This wine is crafted from fruit sourced in the southern Karridale region, 60 kilometers south of Moss Wood’s Wilyabrup base. Moss Wood has a history of exploring pinot noir from different regions, including…

A completely new release from Moss Wood, this edition is largely Semillon with a small influence of Sauvignon Blanc. Barrel fermentation adds distinctive texture and complexity. The wine shows a pale, typical colour, while the nose opens with punchy, fragrant, zesty lemon and subtle passion fruit notes. There’s a spicy,…

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, this wine displays a deep, dark colour with subtle crimson hues. The nose is ripe with blackcurrant and plummy characters, complemented by a lifted aromatic perfume. On the palate, deep, succulent dark fruit flavours are supported by fine, firm tannins,…

Moss Wood 2024 Chardonnay – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
This is excellent. Lemons, lemon rinds, pith, grapefruit, fleshy white nectarines, marzipan, and almonds with wafts of minerally ocean spray and quartz. Medium-full on the palate, beautifully textured and almost perfect in concentration. Lemon and white grapefruit, panna cotta, ginger, honey, sea spray. Everything is so very well done and…

Moss Wood 2023 Pinot Noir – Edward Agg, The Cellar Post
This is a brilliant Pinot Noir from the Team at Moss Wood, and arguably the best I’ve tried to date. It’s a serious proposition, and it borders on vinicide to open it at this early stage. Alas, notes needed to be written and bottle was sacrificed! Powerfully and spicy on…

Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Winsor Dobbin, Wine of the Week
Here’s a classic regional blend of semillon and sauvignon blanc from one of the founding wine producers in Margaret River; albeit with a difference. The Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvée Blanc is a new addition to the range. It is semillon-driven and barrel fermented to add texture and complexity. That…

Moss Wood 2023 Pinot Noir – Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog
They’ve always been Pinot obsessed at Moss Wood. The Pannels planted back in 1973 when Pinot was niche. It remains a popular part of the MW range as Pinot Noir has become vogueish. It’s 45th consecutive release, makes it one of the Australia’s longest running Pinots. Moss Wood Pinot Noir…
Read ReviewMoss Wood 2024 Chardonnay – Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog
Moss Wood Chardonnay 2024 is beautifully balanced. It’s full bodied and intense but doesn’t overpower or over egg complexity. There is quite a bit to it – wet stone, nectarine, peach, oatmeal and nut. It finishes long with a great citrus line. The savoury, textured mouthfeel is exemplary. Moss Wood…
Read ReviewMoss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
A new wine from Moss Wood. 91% Semillon and 9% Sauvignon Blanc. A richer style here offering plenty of flavour, some creaminess and glass to texture, but also has a zip of citrus acidity and spice, with a fine dusty grip to texture. It tastes of pear and apple, some…
Read ReviewMoss Wood 2024 Amy’s – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
It’s a bold and fruit forward wine offering blackberry, raspberry, dark chocolate, liquorice and a dried flower perfume. It’s fleshy and juicy in black fruit, mocha richness, a grainy grip to tannin, acidity is balanced, maybe has some orange nip to it, and finishes earthy, with a slight chicory bitterness,…

Moody ruby with a charming nose of cherry blossom, fig leaf, cinnamon, strawberry leaning red berries, watermelon, beetroot powder, blood orange, a touch of fern, white pepper and sweet, freshly turned soil. Classical! In the mouth it’s medium bodied, but full of flavour and blooms with a core of sweet…

Clear ruby with a blush of pink and a pretty, lifted nose of rose, lavender, spearmint and nettles, macerated red berries, white pepper, rooibos tea, green olive, marshmallow root, roasted chestnut and complex oak spice. In the mouth it bursts with transparent flavours of both fresh and candied red fruits,…

The 2024 Autrement Pinot Noir features fruit grown in Karridale, in Margaret River’s cooler, wetter south. The area is impacted by the cold, wild winds off the Southern Ocean (next stop, Antarctica) and produces fruit that is distinctly different in style from the rest of the region—”autrement” is the French…

The 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc is a Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend, and in true Moss Wood style, it’s rich and exotic in both shape and feel. Notes of white pineapple and green apple, grass clippings and green peppercorns are threaded together by strands of saline acidity. This is classy. It…
