Produced from the historic Moss Wood vineyard in the Wilyabrup subregion, this wine continues the estate’s long-standing reputation for crafting Cabernet Sauvignon of elegance, longevity and regional distinction. The 2023 vintage reflects the cooler and more measured conditions of the growing season, allowing the fruit to ripen gradually while preserving freshness, perfume and structural detail. Meticulous vineyard management and low-intervention winemaking ensure that the character of the site remains clearly expressed, with Cabernet Sauvignon supported by small portions of complementary Bordeaux varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass the wine is intensely perfumed and finely layered, revealing cassis, blackberry and dark plum aromas woven with cedar, tobacco leaf, bay leaf and subtle floral lift. The palate is medium to full-bodied with exceptional balance, combining concentrated black fruit with refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Careful maturation in French oak enhances the wine’s texture and complexity while maintaining the clarity and precision that define Moss Wood’s style. The 2023 release shows impressive restraint and composure in its youth, suggesting excellent ageing potential over the coming decades. Beneath the primary fruit lies a savoury mineral thread that adds sophistication and length to the finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon is ideally suited to premium beef dishes, lamb, hard cheeses or long-term cellaring for those who appreciate the evolution of fine Australian Cabernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Perfumed and complex\u003cbr\u003eAromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum layered with cedar, bay leaf, tobacco, violets and subtle dark chocolate notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Structured and refined\u003cbr\u003eMedium to full-bodied, showing concentrated black fruit flavours balanced by fine tannins, fresh acidity and savoury oak complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and poised\u003cbr\u003eA persistent finish with lingering cassis, dried herbs, cedar spice and elegant mineral freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A very refined and polished Moss Wood with blackcurrants, blueberries, mint chocolate, violets and cigar box aromas.

The fruit concentration is exceptional yet delivered with restraint and precision.
