2022 Moss Wood Pinot Noir
4.5/5 Stars - Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog
“Moss Wood Pinot stand up very well to top shelf Tasmanian and Victorian Pinot.”
Moss Wood Pinot Noir 2022 is a delicious and accomplished wine. Lots of ‘pinotosity’ on the nose – strawberry, cherry and florals. Those red fruits flow through on the palate in what is a well balanced wine. Balance? It’s the refreshing, bright acid and fine smooth tannins that accompany the fruit.
It’s made with about 20% whole bunch which builds in tannins and 20% new oak. Moss Wood is medium bodied with a good depth of flavour. Moss Wood’s founders planted Pinot way back in the 1973, which is very early in the lifeline of Australian Pinot. The 2022 is particularly strong.
95 points Ray Jordan
Pinot in Margaret River remains an enigma. Yet when you get good years it works well. The generosity of the ’22 vintage is captured in this pretty and powerful pinot. Wild raspberry and cherry notes with a subtle spice. The palate is deeply intense but delivers a light effortless touch. A firm core of fine acid and tannin treads deep keeping it on track through to a long finish. A slight chalkiness adds to the finish. The brightness and energy are features here.
