Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Established in 1969, Moss Wood is one of the founding estates of the Margaret River wine region, located in the northern sub-region of Wilyabrup, Western Australia. Clare and Keith Mugford have been at the helm as winemakers, viticulturists, and proprietors since 1984 and 1979, respectively. Their dedication to viticulture ensures that Moss Wood produces exceptional grapes, resulting in consistently high-quality wines that age superbly. Moss Wood’s Cabernet Sauvignon has been ranked in the Langton’s ‘Exceptional’ category since 1991, and the estate’s other varietals—such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Semillon—have also received acclaim for their quality and longevity.

The Moss Wood approach is deeply rooted in the belief that quality is determined in the vineyard. Their viticultural techniques are constantly reassessed and informed by ongoing research, resulting in continuous improvements in trellising, soil conservation, and pruning practices. Located in one of the most isolated and pristine grape-growing regions globally, Moss Wood is part of the Margaret River wine region, which is particularly celebrated for its Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Moss Wood believes that wine quality is determined in the vineyard and viticultural techniques are constantly reassessed and informed by current research, both of others and our own. This has seen trials and improvements in trellising systems, soil conservation practices and pruning practices. The Moss Wood and Ribbon Vale Vineyards are located in the Wilyabrup sub-region, the heart of the Margaret River wine region. At 115° 18’ east longitude and approximately three hours drive south of Perth, Western Australia’s capital city, Margaret River is recognised as one of the world’s great wine producing regions garnering international acclaim for Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in particular. The margaret river site is inspired by the scientific work of Dr John Gladstones who identified the value of the maritime climate for the production of high quality wine and is one of the most isolated and pure grape growing regions in the world, sitting immediately besides the pristine Indian Ocean.
