OUR STORY
The Moss Brothers name has been synonymous with high quality Margaret River wines for more than 30 years, originally established by viticulturist Jeff Moss at Wilyabrup in 1984. Roll forward to today and the Moss Brothers brand remains central to profiling the Margaret River wine region.
Our all-consuming aim is to capture the essence of Margaret
River, Australia, whilst also exploring the single vineyard expression of our flagship vineyard just outside Margaret River township. The Margaret River Wine Region first saw European settlement as late as the early 1830’s. It has evolved from a pioneer ‘outstation’ to forestry, dairy and alternative life stylers who enjoyed the unique coast and its surfing to an area dedicated to the pursuit of great vines and fine wines.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The driving tenet behind our wines is one of respect. Respect for our region, our place, our environment. Respect for our climate, our artisan growers and most definitely respect for the quality fruit that they nurture and deliver into our winemakers’ hands at vintage time every year.
That respect follows through in the winery – the meticulous sorting of the bunches, the gentle pressing of the fruit and the care, skill and experience we bring to each and every parcel during the vinification and ageing process. Respect to us also means to be continually in tune with our place – to revel in the cooling afternoon breezes, the sometimes wild and extravagant rains and the long, uninterrupted bouts of bright sunshine. We strive to take all these wonderful elements and show them off in every glass of wine we make.
THE WINES
Our wines are powerful, approachable, and expressive. Every wine is a reflection of the uniqueness of place and personality that comprises the entirety of the Margaret River wine region, producing vitalising Sauvignon Blanc, generously textured Chardonnay and powerful and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz wines. In addition, our Western Australian wines started life in the vineyards of some of the world’s most committed artisan vignerons.
They are a wonderful blend of the diverse regions of Western Australia that our winemaker has, in turn, crafted into wines that are a true expression of both variety and place. Wines that are an exciting reflection of the vineyards from which they came. Powerful wines with elegance, flavour, and style.
