Working at Moss Wood

"It’s with great pleasure that I had the opportunity to participate in Moss Wood’s 2020 harvest which has left me with amazing memories. I learned that to make great wines there are no secrets, you need an exceptional terroir sublimated by passionate people. The work has to be rigorous and precise without losing conviviality. Clare, Keith, Tristan, Hugh, and Alex are always making sure that every member of staff is well included in the team. People come from all over the world and for this short period of time built up a united team that believed in the same values. I think every single one of us will remember the opportunity we had to work at Moss Wood, where long-lasting relationships begin. However, it’s not only the people it’s also a unique, magical place. Landscapes are breathtaking and you can feel the family atmosphere around the vineyard.
Finally, the technical knowledge is immense, efficient new technologies allow us to manage every step of the production with great precision. This added to a lot of experience which they happily share with humility. Do not hesitate a second to discover Moss Wood, great wines, and its amazing team! You won't be disappointed, French guarantee."

"Working at Mosswood was an incredible experience for me, it has been the perfect combination of learning new technical skills and sharing unique moments in a warm and family atmosphere. I went there to work in a human size winery and to discover Australia, I found great wines made by the ingeniosity of a family of winemakers always well surrounded and a wonderful lifestyle between fishing/surfing and winemaking.

I definitely learned many things because I was involved in every task at the vineyard as well as in the winery. In addition, it opened my mind thanks to all the conversations and debates we had with Clare and Keith Mugford close to the grill on starry nights. Definitely the best way to discover Margaret River area and Australian culture, I’ll always be grateful to them."

"From my first day at Moss Wood I was warmly welcomed by Keith, Clare and all the team.
It was a very hands-on experience where I had the opportunity to learn a lot a technical processes by making very high quality wines. I had the opportunity to learn a lot with all the permanent team so I improved my skills a lot.

I couldn’t have had a better experience than sharing the Mugford family’s passion for wine and discovering the amazing Margaret River region.

I highly recommend to go there and taste the wines!"

"There are many reasons why my two vintages at Moss Wood still stick in my mind as some of the best experiences I’ve had in the wine industry. Warm days beginning with late-summer sunrises over the vines, filled with vineyard sampling, tasting ferments, meticulous processing, cleaning (obviously), and ending with sunset swims at Gracetown after the last punch-downs of the day—all to the beautiful chorus of native birdsong and Keith swearing in French. But mainly it’s seeing the perfect alignment of vine, soil, and climate that is so hard to find, which makes Moss Wood one of the best vineyards I’ve seen, and continues to shape my views on what it takes to make great wine."

"I will always look fondly back on my Moss Wood vintage due to the passionate, welcoming and knowledgeable staff and working environment. The winemakers Keith, Clare, Alex, Tristan and Hugh were extremely generous, taking time to share their knowledge and experiences in producing some of the top wines of Margaret River, from the vineyard to the bottle. Moss Wood has helped reinforce my passion for viticulture and winemaking and I appreciate the opportunity to work at such a prestigious winery alongside the generous staff. Thanks again Moss Wood."

"Even after nearly 10 years at Moss Wood there hasn’t been a boring day at the office! With task including, wine stock management, export and domestic distributors orders organisation, Moss Wood members orders dispatch and invoicing, bottling organisation support, Labelling of international and domestic stock.

Packaging purchase and stock management, accounting support, PA work, maintenance, security related duties, the list goes on and on. With an open mind and eye to details as well as a taste for problem solving amongst a family like company, time has been flying by."
