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 Semillon 2021
Rich, ripe and vibrant Semillon with citrus, lemon curd, lime zest and a suggestion of crushed fennel. A weighty, high-energy wine with an appealing hint of bitterness on the finish. Clearly a long-distance runner, although it can be appreciated now. A very serious Semillon. Published December 2021

Moss Wood Semillon 2021
Pale medium colour. Lovely intense tropical fruit, guava, lemon curd aromas. Concentrated tropical fruit, lemon curd, grapefruit flavours, fine slinky textures, lovely mid palate viscosity and fresh indelible acidity. Finishes crisp with fennel/ aniseed notes. Ripe, generous and minerally; the complete alter ego to Hunter Valley Semillon. Drink now but should keep for a while.

Moss Wood Semillon 2021
This wine always has me tearing my hair out – because when you taste it you keep asking why more don’t make a straight varietal Semillon in this pure and pristine style. Delicious with almost sweet primary characters balanced by a crisp powdery acidity. The palate is bright and lively with a long finish. Cellar: 8 years
