Moss Wood Wines

About Moss Wood

Moss Wood is one of the founding estates of Margaret River and one of the region’s most important long-established wineries. The original vineyard was planted in 1969 in Wilyabrup, the northern part of Margaret River that has become especially renowned for producing some of the region’s most distinguished wines.

That long history matters. Moss Wood is not simply a well-known label, but a winery that has helped shape the identity of Margaret River itself. The wines carry that sense of continuity, with a style built around refinement, structure, balance and consistency rather than fashion or short-term trends.

Wilyabrup, vineyard quality and the Moss Wood style

The Wilyabrup setting is central to understanding Moss Wood. This is one of Margaret River’s most highly regarded subregions, particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon, and Moss Wood’s reputation has been closely tied to that place for decades. The wines tend to show poise and detail, with fruit purity supported by vineyard character and careful winemaking.

Moss Wood has long emphasised the idea that wine quality begins in the vineyard, and that focus comes through clearly in the finished wines. Cabernet Sauvignon remains the most iconic part of the range, but Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Semillon and the Ribbon Vale wines also help show the depth and consistency of the estate’s approach.

Clare and Keith Mugford

A big part of Moss Wood’s identity is the long stewardship of Clare and Keith Mugford, who have been central to the vineyard and winery since the 1980s. Their work has helped establish Moss Wood as a producer known for exacting standards, careful viticulture and wines that can develop beautifully over time.

That long-term hands-on involvement gives Moss Wood a sense of stability and seriousness that wine drinkers recognise. These are wines made with patience and conviction, and that is a large part of why Moss Wood continues to hold such a strong place in Margaret River and in Australian wine more broadly.
