Moss Wood Wilyabrup Semillon 2005
Lacking its customary brightness and length, this young semillon has a delicate apple-like aroma and a palate whose upfront melon and citrus-like fruit finishes with some rawness and hard edges. It finishes warm and spirity, and should flesh out into a richer, broader and earlier-drinking style than some of the finer and tighter examples of this wine.

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.
