Description

The 2023 Moss Wood Amy’s is a superb Bordeaux-style blend, offering a delicious introduction to the celebrated Cabernet-based wines of Moss Wood, at a sensational price.

Moss Wood, founded by Bill and Sandra Pannell in 1969, is a true pioneer of Margaret River. Now under the careful stewardship of Clare and Keith Mugford, the winery continues to uphold its legendary reputation. The fruit for Amy’s is hand-picked and undergoes meticulous sorting and fermentation in stainless steel before maturing in French oak barrels for 18 months, ensuring refined texture and complexity.

On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of blueberry, blackberry, and cherry chocolate, with subtle notes of cedar and toasted oak. The palate follows with luscious red currants and firm, well-integrated tannins. The wine’s bright acidity and balanced structure make it highly enjoyable in its youth.

If you’re after a mid-tier red with a serious pedigree, the 2023 Amy’s is your go-to. Elegant, approachable, and built to impress, it’s perfect for any Cabernet occasion.

    Perfect Cab blend that shouldn't be that good for the price, but it's really is!

    Such adjectives like mouthfillling, opulent or multi-layered aren't usually used when describing a $35 bottle of wine. But this cab blend doesn't disappoint. A perfect drinkable drop from an amazing winery!

    Enjoy!

PRODUCTION NOTES
The fruit was hand-picked and delivered to the winery, where it was hand-sorted and destemmed. The must was then pumped into stainless steel closed fermenters and inoculated for primary fermentation. During primary fermentation, pump-overs were conducted 3 times per day to enhance colour and flavour extraction. Once primary fermentation was complete the wine was pressed and then transferred to 228L French Oak Barriques, none of which were new. Malolactic fermentation was conducted in barrel after which, the wine was racked into tank; blended, analysed and finally, returned to barrel and aged for 18 months. In June of 2024, the wine was racked from barrel to tank and blended. Fining trials were conducted to assess tannin balance. On the 1st of July 2024, the 2023 Moss Wood Amy’s was sterile filtered and bottled.

TASTING NOTES
Colour and Condition:
Deep brick red; bright condition.

Nose:
Dominated by bright aromas of cherry chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, marshmallows and rose. In the back ground there are tarry and cedar notes and toasted oak.

Palate:
Carrying over from the nose the blueberries and red currants are immediately apparent. The firm tannin structure is accented nicely by the generosity contributed by the medium-full body of the mid-palate. The acidity has a gentle linearity which pairs nicely with the texture derived from the French Oak. The vibrancy and liveliness of the fruit weight makes this wine very appealing and should be enjoyed while in its youth.

CELLARING
The Amy’s was made in a youthful fruit-forward style that is very approachable as a young wine. The tannin structure was well-balanced and does not need an extended aging period in bottle.

Moss Wood

Started by the pioneering Bill and Sandra Pannell in 1969, Moss Wood is one of the legendary names in the Australian wine industry, helping establish Margaret River as a world-class wine region.

Located in the northern sub–region of Wilyabrup, current owners Clare & Keith Mugford have been growing the winery's reputation and range since the mid 1980s. The Cabernet Sauvignon is one of Australia's greatest wines, the Chardonnay is exceptional, and the Ribbon Vale range represents excellent value for Margaret River.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
