2018 Moss Wood Chardonnay
Est. range:
Tax included.
The 2018 Moss Wood Chardonnay from Margaret River is a highly-rated, complex, full-bodied wine known for its balance of ripe fruit (peach, pineapple, citrus) with toasty, nutty oak, brioche, and spice notes, showing excellent structure, acidity, and aging potential, praised by critics as a benchmark for the region and potentially one of Moss Wood's best ever. It's rich and creamy yet precise, with flavours developing from tropical fruit and hazelnut praline to more savoury notes like grilled almonds and honey with age, making it enjoyable young but rewarding for cellaring.
-----
The Moss Wood property is ground zero for Cabernet Sauvignon in Margaret River being one of the first wineries to really get the local Cabernet right. Today it’s an all rounder, and particularly the Chardonnay has been starting to challenge the region’s best. It is always quite oaky and slightly old school but still a lovely drink.
This is a full-throttle Chardonnay with layers of pineapple and mandarin fruits matched by some serious oak. It’s also voluptuous – big, bold and creamy in a seriously textural style with buttery hazelnut praline complexity. There is loads of power and concentration to finish and is a crowd pleaser for drinking over the medium term.
Drink: 2021 – 2027

- Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski): Riper and rounder than typical, with ample weight and richness.
