This is the best Moss Wood Elsa Sauvignon Blanc yet!
Now on it’s in 3rd release Elsa Sauvignon Blanc has seen Moss Wood go on the journey of making a more complex, textural Sauv Blanc.
With the Elsa 2021 it feels like all the stars & have aligned.
The balance is perfect. You taste some of Sauvignon Blanc’s richness and fruit power but it’s tempered with saliva inducing dryness and crunchy texture from a cool and wet year.
It points to getting the decision ‘just right’ about when to pick.
Elsa is fermented and aged in 10% new French oak which adds breath to the palate but no overt vanilla or biscuit flavours. Like the fruit ripeness- just right.
One of Australia’s best Sauvignon Blancs. A wine to fall in love with and to admire!
5/5 stars.
