2012 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Botrytis Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (375ml)
The Story:
”It was probably inevitable this would happen - the increasing interest of the Mugford children would eventually force Clare and Keith to give in and do something exciting.
Keith blames the Mugford 2010 Christmas lunch where the pudding was accompanied by a bottle of 2003 Chateau d’Yquem and as usual with this great wine, people were reduced to using words like delicious, stunning and so on. This was a rare privilege and everyone was suitably impressed. As is so often the case, the experience of a truly great wine for the first time is something of a defining moment, likely to stay in the memory forever.
With the Yquem-driven inspiration, the end of the 2011 vintage saw considerable pressure brought to bear by Tristan and Hugh, both of whom were working at Moss Wood, to attempt our first Moss Wood botrytis wine.”

There were no critic cores available on this wine, Ray Jordans.
review on the 2018 is below to give some context on the wine.
”A style of wine you seldom see in WA, let alone in Margaret River. It's a sweet dessert style wine but it has been made in a way that controls the palate, so it remains deep and sweet yet never becomes cloying. Retains a fresh zingy acidity. Distinctive aromas of orange peel and marmalade, honey and a little butterscotch with a bright lime edge.”
