Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2022 Chardonnay -Cassandra Charlick, Decanter
Firmly in the riper spectrum of Margaret River Chardonnay, the nose is cushioned and pillowy, with finely perfumed oak spice, woven with lifted honeysuckle, ripe apple and candied lemon drop, then leaning towards tropical tones of compressed rockmelon. The palate is resplendent with powerful, polished and glossy, rounded phenolics. A fine veil of sea spray salinity and tightly strung acidity keeps thing fresh and moving along. Cellaring will reveal much more with time. Whole-bunch pressed, full malolactic, fermented and aged in 50% new oak for nine months.
