Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2023 Elsa – Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
This is a wine which takes us into a different realm of Sauvignon Blanc, with whole bunch pressing, fermentation in stainless steel tanks before transfer to oak. 225 litre French oak barriques, 7% new, with nine months maturation.
The nose offers florals and seabreeze notes, a real oystershell character to be found here. A minerally backing with notes of white peaches and grapefruits, there is a seductive and yet slightly crunchy texture with very good length. Good complexity here. Fine balance and some real energy right through the length of the wine. A good future, at least four to six years.
