The depth and flesh on this wine at such a young age makes it immediately accessible, but it will last quite some distance too. Today it’s refreshing with upfront fruit, all lemon and white nectarines, lemongrass, some orange peel and grapefruit pith. Powerful yet equally compelling.

It takes only a split second for this wine to establish its greatness in the pantheon of cabernet sauvignons grown around the world, pulsating with sweet fruits and a velvety mouthfeel. This is a cabernet sauvignon to melt a pinot noir addict’s heart.

Mid-straw, bright and inviting. Lifted aromas of grapefruit, white flowers, sweet spice, nougat and green melon. Complex, layered, mouth-filling rich and creamy. There’s a pure drive of white peach, citrus and nutty, complexing oak. Generous, long and quite delicious.

Deep garnet red in the glass, very youthful, inky and opaque. Lovely lifted aromas of cassis, bramble, dried herbs, pencil shavings and nutty oak, wonderfully complex and incredibly evocative. Powerful on the palate, lashings of blackcurrant, mulberry, blackberry and cedar. This is quintessential Margaret River cabernet, not too heavy or angular, just the right amount of sinewy, shapely tannin working superbly with a very pure drive of fruit and delivering fabulous length. Destined for a long and glorious life.

Taut, high-energy chardonnay with lemon curd, toasty French oak, sizzled butter, white peach and grapefruit marmalade supported by fresh acidity and fine peppery tannins. Aerate to get the best out of this closed and youthful wine.

Elegant red that is a benchmark for the variety with red rose petal, cassis, blackberry, cedar wood, cacao nib flavours and a backbone of spicy French oak that adds extra complexity. Accessible but it’s almost a shame to drink it before 2030.

The Moss Wood property is ground zero for Cabernet Sauvignon in Margaret River being one of the first wineries to really get the local Cabernet right. Today it’s an all rounder, and particularly the Chardonnay has been starting to challenge the region’s best. It is always quite oaky and slightly old school but still a lovely drink.
This is a full-throttle Chardonnay with layers of pineapple and mandarin fruits matched by some serious oak. It’s also voluptuous – big, bold and creamy in a seriously textural style with buttery hazelnut praline complexity. There is loads of power and concentration to finish and is a crowd pleaser for drinking over the medium term.
