Moss Wood Margaret River Pinot Noir 2019

Moss Wood Margaret River Pinot Noir 2019

$59.99

The Margaret River region is considered one of Australia’s top areas for premium winemaking, and one of the early pioneers from the region has been Moss Wood, founded in 1969. For over four decades, the winery has been run by Clare & Keith Mugford who have pursued a philosophy of showcasing the region’s stunning maritime climate. Their powerful wines - especially their Cabernets - age extremely well and have a cult following in Australia and beyond. This Pinot Noir is no slouch either, showing intense berry notes and a medium body carefully balanced by a bright streak of acidity and a pure, clean finish. On the nose, there are lifted notes of sour cherries, strawberry jam, roses and dried herbs followed by notes of wild berries, cassis and gentle hints of toasty oak and spice. The 2019 Vintage of the Moss Wood Pinot Noir spent 19 months ageing in French oak barrels, with 10% of them being new.

Winery Tasting Note (2017 Vintage)

Nose: Lifted aromatics of strawberry, quince jelly, roses and cherries.  In the background there is an array of Pinot’s complex notes – earth, cumin and mushroom.  There are also light, toasty oak notes.

Palate: The palate has medium to full body with bright fruit flavours.  Strawberries, cherries and dark jubes sit over a firm tannin, so the wine has excellent balance; it is lively and intense without being heavy.  The performance is completed with some toasty oak on the finish.

Planted in 1969, Moss Wood is a founding estate of the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. Grapes were first planted on the estate in 1969 and Keith Mugford took over the estate in 1985. To this day, Moss Wood is considered one of the best growers and winemakers in the wine region, which itself is considered one of the premier wine regions of Australia.
