The plan was to revamp how they made Sauvignon Blanc. They had an eye on the great whites of the Loire Valley as a template.

Well 2023 Elsa is their best yet. Handpicked and sorted, the grapes get the luxury treatment in the vineyard and winery.
Elsa ’23 is disciplined and tought and emphasises zest rather than ripe fruit salad flavours.

Moss Wood don’t make skinny wines. Elsa has richness and broadness courtesy of the picking dates as well as oak ageing and fermentation.

The combination of palate weight, complexity and length tells me they’ve got it just right.
