They’ve always been Pinot obsessed at Moss Wood. The Pannels planted back in 1973 when Pinot was niche. It remains a popular part of the MW range as Pinot Noir has become vogueish. It’s 45th consecutive release, makes it one of the Australia’s longest running Pinots. Moss Wood Pinot Noir has heady notes of fresh fruit on the nose. The palate continues with glossy red fruit- cherry ripe and strawberry. It’s richer, riper and more intense than its Autrement Pinot Noir 2024 stablemate from Karridale. Moss Wood PN ’23 is an age worthy style. I’d drink in 3-10 years for more earthy complexity. But it is pretty now!

Marc Malouf, Wine Worth Writing About
Clear ruby with a blush of pink and a pretty, lifted nose of rose, lavender, spearmint and nettles, macerated red berries, white pepper, rooibos tea, green olive, marshmallow root, roasted chestnut and complex oak spice.

In the mouth it bursts with transparent flavours of both fresh and candied red fruits, blackcurrant, plum, cherry and orange zest that are spiced with clove, vanilla, chocolate and a touch of cola. With good intensity of flavour, firm acidity and very fine and polished tannins, it soars across its arc and ends on a very long tail that leans into Negroni territory, with red fruit top notes and the sustain of oak.
