Moss Wood Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2011
Round and generous, but rather unpolished and awkward, with an emphasis on the development of wild, funky complexity at the expense of freshness and finesse. Its pungent, creamy and slightly meaty bouquet of stonefruit, melon and grapefruit precedes a brassy and heavy-handed palate whose creamy peach/melon flavour is partially submerged by bacony, mineral and butterscotch-like complexity, finishing with edgy raw aspects.

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.
