2023 Moss Wood Chardonnay
97 points - Ray Jordan
One of the best chardies yet from Moss Wood, and that’s saying something with the quality of wines over the years. The nose is an immediately captivating combo of lemon curd, quince and cashew with just a subtle lift of zest. The palate has a sprightly energy with a crisp chalky acidity sustaining and focussing through to a very long finish, The winemaking approach is fairly simple with no wild yeasts, but the result is outstanding.
(Wine Worth Writing About via Moss Wood)
Medium gold with a touch of cyan and a nose of luscious white peach, fresh fig, lemon zest, toasted crumpets with butter and honey, cashew, raw pistachio, vanilla-rich creme brulee and a touch of Sicilian green olive.
In the mouth it’s creamy, gently saline, charged with tense acidity and textured with furry tannins that grip tight. As of right now, it’s quite firmly structured and needed some hours to unfurl and come together.
Generous flavours of Korean pear, white peach, slightly underripe nectarine, zesty lemon/lime, apricot nectar, toasted oats and caramelised white chocolate show their hand quite early in the arc and do their best to hold over a long, dry and phenolic tail that will surely evolve in time. A serious release of the Moss Wood Chardonnay.
