VINOLOGY VIGNERON WINE

While doing his residency at Royal Perth Hospital and King Edward Maternity Hospital, Dr Bill Pannell found a site on Metricup Road for Moss Wood – one of the region’s founding wineries. After finishing his residency, Bill and wife Sandra moved to Busselton in 1970.  Their 1975 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon, from six-year-old vines and the winery’s third vintage, was unquestionably the outstanding wine of the region’s first decade.
