Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and petit verdot grown on the Glenmore Vineyard, fermented, matured and bottled at Moss Wood. The excellent crimson-purple colour introduces a juicy and seductive array of red and black fruits held close by ripe tannins and integrated French oak. A pleasure to drink.

Planted in 1969 Moss Wood is an important, founding estate of the Margaret River wine region, located in the northern sub–region of Wilyabrup, Western Australia. Clare & Keith Mugford, as winemakers, viticulturalists & proprietors, have been making wine & tending the vineyard at Moss Wood since 1984 & 1979, respectively. Their exacting viticulture ensures the production of grapes of excellent quality & they have created a stable of fine wines distinguished by their consistency over each vintage & their ability to age superbly.
Who is 'Amy' - In 1997, Clare and Keith negotiated a 3 year contract to buy the fruit from the “Glenmore Vineyard” owned by Amy Beers, the grandmother of Ian Bell who still owns and managers that vineyard.
Comprising of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot.
2017 Moss Wood Amy’s is deep brick red. Nose displays lifted dark fruit aromas of mulberries and blackcurrants, backed by some spicy, white pepper notes from the Malbec and musk-like perfumes from the Petit Verdot; complex cedar and tarry notes are in the background.
As with the nose, the palate is dominated by dark fruit notes, with juicy blackberry and red currant flavours. The acidity and tannins are firm but not in any way aggressive and are well balanced. Drinking beautifully now.
