From the Wilyabrup vineyard, where maritime breezes and gravelly loam soils nurture slow, even ripening, this Pinot delivers precision and poise rather than opulence. It reflects the region’s restrained power, translating sunlight and coastal air into shape and texture rather than sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"478\" data-end=\"951\"\u003eFruit was hand-picked at optimal ripeness, gently destemmed, and fermented in small stainless-steel vats, with careful temperature control and gentle plunging to extract fine tannin and colour. Following fermentation, the wine spent around eighteen months in French oak barriques, roughly eighteen per cent new, before bottling. This slow maturation allows the fruit to knit with savoury oak spice and fine tannins, giving the wine both immediacy and cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage is particularly balanced, showing lifted aromatics, supple mid-palate weight, and a lingering, savoury finish. It captures the quiet beauty of Pinot grown in a warmer maritime zone, framed by the Mugfords’ hallmark precision. Built for drinking now yet confidently structured for ten to fifteen years in the cellar, this release continues Moss Wood’s legacy of crafting Pinot Noir with authenticity and staying power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"1055\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"920\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"927\"\u003e– Red Fruits and Spice\u003cbr data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"952\"\u003eStrawberry, raspberry, and cherry aromas unfold with rose petal, nutmeg, and gentle cedar complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003e– Silky and Balanced\u003cbr data-start=\"1086\" data-end=\"1089\"\u003eRipe red fruit and plum glide through a creamy, velvety texture supported by subtle spice and fine acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1344\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003e– Long and Savoury\u003cbr data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1230\"\u003ePolished tannins and soft earth notes close with balance and persistence, showing potential for graceful ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1363\"\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1382\"\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1406\"\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003eRegion - Margaret River, Western Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1473\"\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1490\"\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1512\"\u003eABV - 13.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1526\"\u003eClosure - Screw Cap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moss Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42072675221591,"sku":"MWPN-23","price":79.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/ffecb9f5-576f-4e2d-965e-a43659889070.png?v=1762070327","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/moss-wood-pinot-noir-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
