It’s beautifully scented, with aromas of grapefruit, mango, lemongrass, and crisp apple. It’s refreshing and mouthwatering, delivering a saline texture and vibrant acidity, with a lingering, exuberant finish. A blend of 90% Semillon & 10% Sauvignon Blanc. At its best: now to 2033. October 2025

Beautifully fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, blueberry, fennel, subtle tobacco, and elegant oak aromas. It’s succulent and supple in the mouth, delivering a fleshy texture, fine acidity, and chalky tannins, making it robust and sturdy, with excellent line and length. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot,…

Moss Wood 2024 Autrement Pinot Noir – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Sweetly fruited with savoury nuances, the fragrant bouquet shows dark plum, cured meat, warm mushroom, baking spice, and toasted almond characters, followed by a silky-smooth palate that’s succulent and beautifully weighted. It’s wonderfully structured with refreshing acidity and grainy tannins, finishing lingering and delectable. At its best: 2028 to 2036.…

Moss Wood 2023 Pinot Noir – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
It’s seductively expressed on the nose, showing dark cherry, rich floral, clove, porcini, and roasted nut aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight, refined texture, and beautifully infused tannins, making it splendidly balanced and persistent with layers of complex flavours. It’s generous and plush, while offering finesse and…

Moss Wood 2024 Chardonnay – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
This is alluring and enticing on the nose with white-fleshed nectarine, lemon pith, oatmeal, and biscotti characters with a hint of vanilla. The concentrated palate shows fine flow, creamy texture, and perfectly pitched acidity, culminating in an impressively long, expansive finish. Gorgeously poised and harmonious with a long, graceful future.…

Well butter me both sides! I reckon this is a better wine than the 2023. Peach, mint slice, lime, lightly toasty cedar oak, cashew and a little spice. It’s bright and juicy, grilled lime and peach, pastry dough, a lively but settled tang to acidity, mint nougat and floral mouth-perfume,…
Read ReviewMoss Wood 2023 Pinot Noir – Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
The 2023 Pinot Noir hails from a superb vintage in Margaret River—and indeed, wider Western Australia. It was mild in all respects, and from the hundreds of wines I have tasted from this vintage so far, it seems to have extracted the best of most producers and their vineyards, regardless…

Bright crimson, with inviting aromas of red cherry pie and dusty forest roads. There’s a ripe sweetness on the palate with a line of tangy acidity as backbone, all wrapped in a frame of velvety tannins that grip until the end. Drinks well now and will hold for a few…

Medium-full colour with a bright purple tint; gumleaf mint aromatics at first sniff, as well as dark cherry and spice. The palate is intense and driving, with very good line and length, precise and tight but with a fraction of hardness which time should resolve. A structured pinot of real…

Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvee Blanc – Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog
The inaugural release of Amy’s Cuvée Blanc is a 90% Semillon / 10% Sauvignon Blanc blend. This is Semillon at its most appealing—fresh, balanced, and showing subtle tropical and lemongrass notes. Fermented and lightly aged in old oak, it has attractive palate weight and texture. A delicious, drink-now style.…

Amy’s 2024 is Moss Wood’s well-known Cabernet blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon with roughly equal parts Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. It bursts with juicy freshness, offering red and black fruits along with tapenade. It finishes with satisfying Cabernet markers of tea, tobacco and leather. November, 2025
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,…
Read ReviewMoss 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 at this early stage. Alas, notes needed to be written and bottle was sacrificed! Powerfully and spicy on the…
Read ReviewMoss Wood 2024 Chardonnay – Angus Hughson, The Vintage Journal
Another superb Margaret River Chardonnay from the team at Moss Wood. Fermentation was completed in French oak barriques, 55% of which were new. Maturation was over a period of a year and a half. Lemon yellow in colour, the wine has a glorious nose, full of notes of mandarins, oyster…

A superb Margaret River blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, both alluring and seductive. The split is 91% Semillon and 9% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation is finished in French oak barriques, before the wine spends another three months in maturation. A shimmering lemon-yellow hue, the nose weaves through a range of…

The name, we are told, means “in another way”, in French, which the team see as reflective of their Pinot Noir journey. Many have questioned why they persist with this variety when the region seems, if not better suited to other grapes, then more successful with them. Perhaps, quite simply,…

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

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,…
