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.

Conditions were mild to warm, with steady ripening across all varieties, producing wines of above-average quality and strong varietal character. Sauvignon Blanc was harvested on 5th March with yields down significantly at 7.76 tonnes per hectare. While the variety proved less productive in 2025, the fruit was highly concentrated, delivering a wine with bright intensity, showing classic gooseberry and tropical fruit notes.

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.

Sauvignon Blanc was harvested on 5th March with yields down significantly at 7.76 tonnes per hectare. While the variety proved less productive in 2025, the fruit was highly concentrated, delivering a wine with bright intensity, showing classic gooseberry and tropical fruit notes.

To build savoury complexity, 30% of the fruit was fermented as whole bunches, with the remaining 70% destemmed. The must was chilled to 8°C and held for 48 hours for cold soaking - to extract colour, flavour, and tannin. After the cold soak, the must was allowed to warm and fermentation began spontaneously with wild yeast. This approach was taken with the aim of en- hancing aromatic expression and mouthfeel. Once fermentation had reached approximately 3-4% alcohol, we seeded the tanks with cultured Saccharomy- ces cerevisiae yeast to ensure a reliable fermentation to dryness. Hand plung- ing was done three times daily, and fermentation temperatures were held to a maximum of 32°C. After 16 days on skins, each batch was pressed individually and completed primary and malolactic fermentation in tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Light Medium Bodied)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moss Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49186272477417,"sku":"MOSPNO24-A-1","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/MossWoodAutrementPinotNoir2024.jpg?v=1759915115"},{"product_id":"moss-wood-autrement-pinot-noir-2024-12pack-13-7-750ml","title":"Moss Wood Autrement Pinot Noir 2024 12pack 13.7% 750ml","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoss Wood Autrement Pinot Noir 2024 12pack 13.7% 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eVibrant crimson red, clear and bright condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAROMA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eA lifted and expressive nose showing primary aromas of red fruits - straw- berry, raspberry and red cherry - supported by floral notes of rose petal and potpourri.

To build savoury complexity, 30% of the fruit was fermented as whole bunches, with the remaining 70% destemmed. The must was chilled to 8°C and held for 48 hours for cold soaking - to extract colour, flavour, and tannin. After the cold soak, the must was allowed to warm and fermentation began spontaneously with wild yeast. This approach was taken with the aim of en- hancing aromatic expression and mouthfeel. Once fermentation had reached approximately 3-4% alcohol, we seeded the tanks with cultured Saccharomy- ces cerevisiae yeast to ensure a reliable fermentation to dryness. Hand plung- ing was done three times daily, and fermentation temperatures were held to a maximum of 32°C. After 16 days on skins, each batch was pressed individually and completed primary and malolactic fermentation in tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Light Medium Bodied)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moss Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49186273984745,"sku":"MOSPNO24-A-12","price":716.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/MossWoodAutrementPinotNoir2024.jpg?v=1759915115"},{"product_id":"moss-wood-ribbon-vale-elsa-sauvignon-blanc-2023-14-750ml","title":"Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Elsa Sauvignon Blanc 2023 14% 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoss Wood Ribbon Vale Elsa Sauvignon Blanc 2023 14% 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e94% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Semillon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoss Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlanted 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.

Conditions remained warm and dry from spring through to harvest, setting the scene for small crops and excellent ripeness. For many, it brought back memories of the mid- nineties, in particular 1995, when similar years produced wines of richness and structure. Flowering took place under clear skies and warm temperatures, and from that point rainfall was minimal. Only 10mm fell from flowering through to harvest, leading to smaller bunches and reduced yields, but the fruit ripened evenly and remained in perfect condition. Cabernet Sauvignon and its blending varieties all reached full flavour ripeness at moderate sugar levels, delivering bright fruit and balanced tannins. The median harvest date for the Amy’s was 28th February, several weeks earlier than usual, with fruit picked at 13.1° Baume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eThe 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. Pump- overs were conducted three times per day to enhance colour and flavour extraction. After 14 days on skins, the wine was pressed, and both primary and malolactic fermentation were completed in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine was racked to 228 L French oak barriques, none of which were new, and matured for a total of 16 months. In August 2025, the barrels were racked and blended in stainless steel. Fining trials were conducted to assess tannin balance, and the wine was found to require no fining.

Conditions remained warm and dry from spring through to harvest, setting the scene for small crops and excellent ripeness. For many, it brought back memories of the mid- nineties, in particular 1995, when similar years produced wines of richness and structure. Flowering took place under clear skies and warm temperatures, and from that point rainfall was minimal. Only 10mm fell from flowering through to harvest, leading to smaller bunches and reduced yields, but the fruit ripened evenly and remained in perfect condition. Cabernet Sauvignon and its blending varieties all reached full flavour ripeness at moderate sugar levels, delivering bright fruit and balanced tannins. The median harvest date for the Amy’s was 28th February, several weeks earlier than usual, with fruit picked at 13.1° Baume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eThe 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. Pump- overs were conducted three times per day to enhance colour and flavour extraction. After 14 days on skins, the wine was pressed, and both primary and malolactic fermentation were completed in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine was racked to 228 L French oak barriques, none of which were new, and matured for a total of 16 months. In August 2025, the barrels were racked and blended in stainless steel. Fining trials were conducted to assess tannin balance, and the wine was found to require no fining. The 2024 Moss Wood Amy’s was then sterile filtered and bottled on 1 September 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

Calendar year rainfall in 2024 totalled 910mm, below the long-term average of 1012mm, but sufficient to establish adequate soil moisture reserves in this dry-grown vineyard. Spring conditions were ideal. During flowering, Chardonnay received 14.4mm of rainfall and Sauvignon Blanc 9.4mm. While rainfall at this stage of the season can influence crop levels, these modest falls occurred under otherwise favourable conditions and had no negative impact on fruit set. Final yields reflected this, with Chardonnay cropping at 6.37 tonnes per hectare and Elsa at 7.75 tonnes per hectare. As the season moved into summer, temperatures remained moderate, with no prolonged heat events. The growing season average temperature for Elsa was 20.42°C, effectively identical to the long-term average of 20.43°C, while Chardonnay recorded a slightly cooler-than-average growing season at 20.07°C compared with its long-term average of 20.36°C. From the beginning of January through to harvest, 22.8mm of rain was recorded. This modest rainfall ensured the vines were not subject to water stress during the latter part of ripening, while remaining low enough to avoid dilution. Ripening progressed evenly, with Elsa completing its cycle in 101 days from flowering to harvest, closely aligned with its long-term average of 100 days. Ribbon Vale Chardonnay recorded 120 days from flowering to harvest, consistent with its long-term average. Harvest timing differed slightly between the two wines. Elsa was harvested seven days later than its long-term average, reflecting the even pace of ripening, while Ribbon Vale Chardonnay was harvested two days earlier than average, consistent with timely flavour development. Taken together, the combination of ideal spring conditions, moderate temperatures, controlled yields, balanced rainfall and seasonally typical ripening durations produced wines of clarity, composure and natural balance. The 2025 Ribbon Vale whites reflect these conditions, showing precision, texture and excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.333kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moss Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50927738192105,"sku":"MOSCHA25-RV-1","price":77.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/MossWoodRibbonValeChardonnay2025.jpg?v=1776942972"},{"product_id":"moss-wood-ribbon-vale-chardonnay-2025-12pack-14-750ml","title":"Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay 2025 12pack 14% 750ml","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay 2025 12pack 14% 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eClear and bright condition; pale straw with light golden hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAROMA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eLifted aromas of citrus and white peach, supported by preserved lemon, subtle florals and restrained oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eMedium to full bodied with fine phenolics and fresh acidity.

Calendar year rainfall in 2024 totalled 910mm, below the long-term average of 1012mm, but sufficient to establish adequate soil moisture reserves in this dry-grown vineyard. Spring conditions were ideal. During flowering, Chardonnay received 14.4mm of rainfall and Sauvignon Blanc 9.4mm. While rainfall at this stage of the season can influence crop levels, these modest falls occurred under otherwise favourable conditions and had no negative impact on fruit set. Final yields reflected this, with Chardonnay cropping at 6.37 tonnes per hectare and Elsa at 7.75 tonnes per hectare. As the season moved into summer, temperatures remained moderate, with no prolonged heat events. The growing season average temperature for Elsa was 20.42°C, effectively identical to the long-term average of 20.43°C, while Chardonnay recorded a slightly cooler-than-average growing season at 20.07°C compared with its long-term average of 20.36°C. From the beginning of January through to harvest, 22.8mm of rain was recorded. This modest rainfall ensured the vines were not subject to water stress during the latter part of ripening, while remaining low enough to avoid dilution. Ripening progressed evenly, with Elsa completing its cycle in 101 days from flowering to harvest, closely aligned with its long-term average of 100 days. Ribbon Vale Chardonnay recorded 120 days from flowering to harvest, consistent with its long-term average. Harvest timing differed slightly between the two wines. Elsa was harvested seven days later than its long-term average, reflecting the even pace of ripening, while Ribbon Vale Chardonnay was harvested two days earlier than average, consistent with timely flavour development. Taken together, the combination of ideal spring conditions, moderate temperatures, controlled yields, balanced rainfall and seasonally typical ripening durations produced wines of clarity, composure and natural balance. The 2025 Ribbon Vale whites reflect these conditions, showing precision, texture and excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.333kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moss Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50927738421481,"sku":"MOSCHA25-RV-12","price":924.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/MossWoodRibbonValeChardonnay2025.jpg?v=1776942972"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/collections\/Moss_Wood.jpg?v=1777882354","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/collections\/moss-wood.oembed","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
