Moss Wood Chardonnay 2019
75cl / 14%
“This is magnificently composed and expressed, showing white flesh peach, citrus peel, cedar and nougat characters on the nose with a hint of brioche.
It’s immensely concentrated and richly textured on the palate, while remaining harmonious and impeccably balanced.
Multi-layered with loads of delectable flavours. At its best: 2029 to 2039.”
~ Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

In the case of the 2019 Chardonnay, it will need at least 10 years to develop its bottle bouquet of butter and toasty aromas, as well as showing some softening of the structure on the palate. Between 10 and 20 years of age these will gradually play a bigger role in the wine and we expect full maturity at between 20 and 25 years old.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium straw hue; bright condition.
Aroma: There is a strong lift of vibrant Chardonnay aromas, with peach, rock melon, nashi pear and limes combining with florals like jasmine, honeysuckle and orange rind. The light toasty oak sits nicely in the background, combining with roasted cashew nuts, caramel, crème brulee and earthy, mushroom notes.
Palate: Here we see a progression from the nose, the initial impression is one of a full-bodied wine, with good structure provided by fresh acidity and firm, but not aggressive, tannins. Generous peach, grapefruit and dried apricot flavours provide the perfect foil for the structure and there is good length, with a finish of caramel, cream cheese, earthy and toasty notes.
Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
