Moss Wood Chardonnay Margaret River, West Australia – 2024
CHF 55.00
Nose:
Classic Moss Wood Chardonnay aromatics – rich and lifted with yellow peach, marmalade and ripe nectarine. Layers of citrus zest, particularly preserved lemon and lime, are complemented by florals of honeysuckle and jasmine. Subtle oak-derived notes of roasted cashew, shortbread, caramel and malt weave seamlessly into the background.
Palate:
The palate is full-bodied and powerful yet finely structured, with generous stone fruit flavours of peach and apricot complemented by grapefruit, lime and subtle spice. A taut, fresh acid line provides the backbone, ensuring the wine remains lifted and precise while balancing the richness of the fruit. Creamy texture from malolactic fermentation is supported by vibrant acidity and fine, toasty oak. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of nougat, roasted nuts and a gentle touch of caramel.
When to drink?
The Moss Wood 2024 Chardonnay is immediately appealing for its fruit generosity and balance, making it a pleasure to drink young. However, it has the structure and concentration to reward patience. We recommend cellaring for at least 10 years to allow the development of complex bottle bouquet, with full maturity expected at 20 years of age.
Reviews
“The Moss Wood Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2024 is full throttle, offering decadent loayers of peach, nectarine and mango, seamlessly intertwines with buttery tones and French oak, the majority of which was new. A powerhouse of creamy flavour is accentuated by chalky acidity, with a strong line of more savoury nutty tones carrying through to a long, well defined finish. Fabulous.” 96/100pts Vinous
“Bright gold in the glass, with fresh apricots, vanilla and light cedary oak, with lemon rind, wet pebble and green almond. It’s vibrant and powerful, with zesty acidity, chalky mineral lift and savoury depth, finishing with a precise bitter-peel note that adds to the tension and drive. A confident, layered wine with lift and structure sure to age beautifully.” 95/100 The Real Review January, 2026
“Generous, rounded aromas of lemon confit, honeysuckle, beeswax, lanolin, pastry, grapefruit and salted nuts. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, but don’t be turned off by the ripeness. There’s great tension and purity with a mineral drive underneath the textural, creamy and very giving finish. Typical of the vintage, balancing freshness and power, but in an old-school style. Drink or hold. Screw cap.” 95/100 James Suckling
