Moss Wood 2023 Chardonnay – Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog

Rating: 5 Stars

 

The nose tells you that you are in for something complex and delicious. A lightning rod of refreshing acid runs through this wine robed in lime, grapefruit and textured tannins. 

The Moss Wood house style is traditionally a rich and full bodied Wilyabrup Chardonnay. Perhaps it’s the cooler vintage but the 2023 has a slight racier, more linear style which I love. 

This has the power and volume to age very well for 10+ years but I love the tensile strength that comes from this young Chardonnay from 50 year old vines.
