2023 Moss Wood ‘Ribbon Vale Elsa’ Sauvignon Blanc
96 Points, Ray Jordan
This intriguing interpretation of a sauvignon blanc dominant wine was introduced just a few years ago. I have loved it from the start. Has about 10 per cent semillon in it, but it is the savvy which really dominates. There are the usual tropical, guava and slightly passionfruit lemony characters of sauvignon blanc but then other secondary characters of spices and ginger emerge. Gets a little oak treatment which contributes to its slightly steely linear frame. This is one of the best yet.
95 points & 5 stars Bob Campbell, The Real Review
"Superb Sauvignon"
Serious sauvignon with white peach, nectarine, spicy French oak, oyster shell, and a hint of feijoa. Taut, invigorating wine with mouth-watering acidity that gives the wine energy and a lingering finish.
95 Points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
Sauvignon blanc. On song with its flavours and texture; it’s really a classy wine. A beautiful balance of white stone fruit, citrus and gooseberries with a smidge of feijoa. The textural palate steals the show with its creamed honey lees and subtle oak with a slight phenolic tug adding extra depth. Love this wine.
