NOTES
The Moss family began their Margaret River vineyard in 1984 with a lot of expertise on side. Senior Moss, Jeff, had been growing grapes his whole life and David Moss had worked at both Houghton and Moss Wood for a number of years in both the vineyards and wineries.
Peter Moss, engineer, made stainless steel tanks and winery equipment including whole wineries and boutique breweries. Jane Moss studied wine making and grape growing at Roseworthy Agricultural College, Australia's leading wine science university. David had concepts about wine styles, and, the vineyard was planted with these in mind. The original line-up was Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend, Chardonnay and the Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend.
TASTING NOTES
Light straw with pale green tints leads to a bouquet aromatics of lime, white peach, nectarines, grapefruit. The palate displays some enticing lemon sorbet fruit, stone fruits and hints of hazelnut integrating with harmonious slightly smoky oak.
REVIEWS
Bright light green; harmonious wine, with fruit and oak seamlessly married; grapefruit and stone fruit flavours run through the long palate. 93 Points James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2010
Silver Boutique Wine Awards 2008
In the heart of Margaret River‟s Wilyabrup, Moss Brothers Winery makes a strong case for single vineyard chardonnay with a wine that is both reflective of its terroir, and a delightful drink. Judicious use of oak has allowed the true flavour of Moss Brother‟s chardonnay vineyard to shine through, with pure expressions of minerality and fruit. Really, well and truly, this wine is one of the cleanest, most elegant examples of chardonnay from anywhere, let alone Margaret River, that I have tasted in a long time.
