Moss Wood Amy's Cuvee Blanc 2025

Crisp and structured, showing generous flavours of citrus and stone fruit alongside gentle tropical notes. Bright acidity provides freshness and length, while creamy texture from barrel fermentation adds weight through the mid-palate. A savoury, lightly nutty oak nuance lingers on the finish, bringing balance and complexity.

The Moss Wood 2025 Amy’s Cuvée Blanc is a new addition to the Moss Wood portfolio. Semillon with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc, it’s bright and vibrant, with barrel fermentation adding texture and complexity. Approachable and expressive in its youth, this wine is made to enjoy now for its lively fruit and freshness.

Best enjoyed within the first 5 years for its freshness, vibrancy and youthful fruit expression. After this point, the wine will develop some bottle bouquet, with the citrus and tropical notes evolving into richer honeyed, toasty and lanolin characters, offering a more complex, mature drinking experience.

Both the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc were hand-picked and delivered to the winery, where they underwent identical vinification. After hand-sorting, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed and the juice clarified by flotation. Fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks using a selection of yeast strains, with temperatures carefully controlled and not exceeding 20°C. At approximately the halfway point of fermentation, the wines were transferred to 225-litre French oak barriques to complete alcoholic fermentation. Upon completion, the wine was treated with sulphur dioxide was added for protection, and returned to barrel for maturation. They remained in oak until 9 June 2025, spending a total of three months in barrique before final blending in stainless steel. Fining trials were conducted to refine tannin balance, with the final blend treated with isinglass, then bentonite for protein stability. The wine underwent cold stabilisation and sterile filtration before bottling on 1 July 2025.
