Moss Wood Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2004
A tightly focused, measured and superbly balance benchmark-level chardonnay of texture and vinosity. Its delicate and rather closed perfume of jasmine, peach and grapefruit is backed by slightly mealy undertones of minerals and wet stones. It flaunts its extended lees contact and new oak, but delivers a seamless integration between these elements and its lemony stonefruit flavours. Its baby-fat-like mid palate finishes long and mineral, with lingering funky edges.

Winery
Moss Wood
Moss Wood occupies a special place in Australian wine. One of the founding vineyards of the Margaret River region, it was the first to establish iconic status, where it was quickly joined by Cullen and Vasse Felix. After some years in which the winemaking and viticulture appear to have lost focus, there are indeed signs of a possible return to Moss Wood's historically expected form. The 2013 Amy's Cabernet Sauvignon has more polish and finesse than several preceding vintages, while the currently available whites from Bordeaux varieties are right on cue.
