SIP
THE BOOK: READ THE WINE
PRESS
RELEASE August 1999
 Winemaker Jane Moss,
of Moss
Brothers Wine, is proud to announce the release of her Republic of Women special edition, a 1998 Margaret River Merlot,
to celebrate publication of her longtime friend Merrill Findlay's
first novel.
"I have a simple approach
to wine making: being that it is a craft and an art," Jane Moss
says. "Making wine requires both technical know-how and a little
magic. Just like writing fiction does."
 Jane needs little introduction
in Australian wine circles, given her strong roots in the industry.
Her father began the family tradition as a youth with Mildara
and later made significant contributions at Seppelts and Houghtons
in Western Australia before establishing the family vineyard in
Margaret River, Australia's premium wine producing region. Jane
graduated from Roseworthy College in 1990 and, although she now
lives in Melbourne, she returns to the family winery at vintage
time, and at other critical times during the year.
Moss
Brothers have won their fair share of medals during the years
Jane has been involved in the family business. Their 1998 Moss
Brothers Semillon won the Sheraton Gold Medal in Western Australia
and was a Top 100 winner at the 1999 Sydney International Wine
Competition, for example.
