Proprietors and winemakers, Clare and Keith Mugford, have established an internationally recognised Margaret River landmark, with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. Being part of the Langton’s ‘Exceptional’ ranking since 1991 and other internationally respected wine awards, the couple has also proven that other Moss Wood wines, like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Semillons, showcase exceptional quality and longevity.

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay 2023
An opulent and slick expression of Chardonnay, and I do admire a wine that doesn’t stint on flavour. Here we have white mint chocolate, lemon pudding, cedar and spice, peach, cashew and green banana. It’s viscous and rich, but has a fine cut of acidity, melon, peach and toasty savoury oak, the texture is firm and chalky, and the finish is long, with a hazelnut skin grip to close, and some marzipan richness. I reckon this will build and settle with a few more years in bottle, and be better again. Excellent wine.
