Moss Wood 2022 Chardonnay – Marc Malouf, Wine Worth Writing About
Moss Wood 2022 Chardonnay – Marc Malouf, Wine Worth Writing About
Pale gold with silver reflections and a floral and zesty nose of citrus blossoms, jasmine, grilled lime, quince, pear and melon with almond nougat, mint, dried galangal, white pepper and toasted spice.
In the mouth it’s mineral, precise, gently curved and intensely flavoured with lime, orchard fruit, white stonefruits and salinity, as well as some brulée and hazelnut notes. Lots of freshness, tension and texture going on. The midpalate’s gripped by chalky tannins that hold alongside the fruit to a long and reaching tail. A killer Chardy for the cellar!
