Ray Jordan writes about Moss Wood 2013 Semillon and Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon in his Top 100 Whites 2014

 

2013 Moss Wood Semillon

This beautifully pure and expressive semillon from Margaret River is consistently one of the best of this variety from this region. It’s pure unoaked semillon and so reveals that beautiful lemon essence and light grassy character which are so appealing. It has a fine delicate acidity and plenty of lingering fruit held with a lipsmacking acid on the finish. 95/100

 

2013 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

This is only just savvy dominant. The fruit is initially treated in stainless steel before about 40 per cent of the blend goes into French oak. The result is a stunning lift in complexity and mouth feel. Rich textured flavours of melon and fig with a creamy stone fruit splashed with a hint of grapefruit and citrus tang. 93/100
