Moss Wood Ribbonvale Elsa 2025

I’ve been a fan of this wine since it was introduced just a few years ago, and I have to say, this one from what was an excellent season stacks up with any that have yet been released. It’s a largely Sauvignon Blanc with a small percentage of Semillon, varieties which have always done well in this vineyard. But this is no ordinary SBS, a variety that has always done well in this vineyard. Aromas of complex nutty citrus with a slightly savoury character. And yet for me, it’s the palate where this wine really hits its straps. It’s textured, it’s delicate, and yet it has a deep flavour intensity with such lingering persistence. A marvellous example of this style.
