94 / 100"Sliced apples, crushed stones, thyme, lemons and white grapefruits on the nose. Tangy, mineral and compact, with a medium to full body. Weighty and solidly structured. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"You hear quite a lot about Moss Wood’s great cabernets and chardonnay, and as a result this little guy can slip under the radar. But it remains one of my favourite wines in the Moss Wood portfolio. And it shows how good semillon can be in Margs. This has got some weight but it’s held with control by the dab hand of a lemon citrus acid tang. Very long finish. One of the best I can recall."

Tasting Notes
Colour and condition:
Pale to medium straw hue, with green tints; bright condition.
Nose:
Bright, lifted aromas of ripe figs, some lemon and granny smith apple notes, with a touch of lanolin and mushroom in the background.
Palate:
The initial impression is one of generous, long fruit flavours, consisting on figs, apple and preserved lemon. There is good weight and length, with fresh acidity and some soft tannins on the finish.
