The 2024 Moss Wood Chardonnay is a refined, structured, and finely balanced expression of Margaret River Chardonnay, produced by Moss Wood. Known for its classical, age-worthy style, Moss Wood Chardonnay is crafted with a focus on precision, texture, and vineyard expression rather than overt richness.

The 2024 vintage in Margaret River provided excellent conditions, with a long, even ripening period that allowed Chardonnay fruit to develop purity, freshness, and fine natural acidity. These conditions contributed to a wine of clarity, tension, and understated complexity.

Fruit was hand-harvested from select estate vineyards and whole-bunch pressed to preserve delicacy. Fermentation took place in French oak barriques, with a measured proportion of new oak adding structure and subtle spice. The wine was matured on lees, building texture, creaminess, and depth while maintaining freshness and focus.

The bouquet is elegant and layered, revealing aromas of white peach, nectarine, lemon zest, and green melon, complemented by notes of citrus blossom, crushed almond, cashew, and subtle flinty minerality. With air, gentle savoury tones of brioche, oatmeal, and wet stone begin to emerge.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, precise, and beautifully structured. Flavours of stone fruit, citrus, pear, and lemon curd are supported by vibrant acidity and a fine, creamy texture. Oak influence is well integrated, adding depth without overpowering the fruit.

The finish is long, focused, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of citrus, white peach, almond, and saline freshness. While already expressive, the wine will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years, gaining complexity and nuance with time.

A benchmark Margaret River Chardonnay, the 2024 Moss Wood Chardonnay showcases purity, structure, and elegance from one of Australia’s most respected estate producers.
