Moss Wood Pinot Noir 2022 is a delicious and accomplished wine. Lots of ‘pinotosity’ on the nose – strawberry, cherry and florals.

Those red fruits flow through on the palate in what is a well balanced wine.

Balance? It’s the refreshing, bright acid and fine smooth tannins that accompany the fruit.

It’s made with about 20% whole bunch which builds in tannins and 20% new oak. Moss Wood is medium bodied with a good depth of flavour.

Moss Wood’s founders planted Pinot way back in the 1973, which is very early in the lifeline of Australian Pinot.

And Moss Wood Pinot stand up very well to top shelf Tasmanian and Victorian Pinot.

The 2022 is particularly strong.
