The 2024 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay is a finely detailed, cool-climate Chardonnay from Western Australia’s Margaret River region, produced by Moss Wood. Sourced from the estate’s Ribbon Vale vineyard, this wine reflects a more refined, mineral-driven expression compared to richer Australian Chardonnay styles.

The 2024 vintage in Margaret River delivered excellent growing conditions, with a long and even ripening season that allowed Chardonnay fruit to develop purity, natural acidity, and precise flavour definition. The result is a wine that balances elegance, tension, and subtle complexity.

Fruit was hand-harvested from the Ribbon Vale vineyard and whole-bunch pressed to preserve delicacy and aromatic purity. Fermentation took place in French oak barriques, with a careful proportion of new oak used to add structure and complexity without dominating the fruit. The wine was matured on lees to build texture, creaminess, and depth.

The bouquet is refined and expressive, revealing aromas of white peach, nectarine, lemon zest, and grapefruit, layered with notes of citrus blossom, cashew, crushed almond, 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, focused, and beautifully balanced. Flavours of stone fruit, citrus, pear, and lemon curd are supported by vibrant acidity and a fine, creamy texture. The oak influence is carefully integrated, enhancing structure while maintaining freshness and clarity.

The finish is long, precise, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of citrus, white peach, almond, and saline freshness. While already highly enjoyable, the wine will reward cellaring over the next 8–12 years as it develops greater complexity and nuance.

A benchmark Margaret River Chardonnay, the 2024 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay showcases precision, restraint, and site expression from one of Australia’s most respected producers.
