2023 Mac Forbes Gembrook Pinot Noir

WINEMAKER: Mac Forbes
REGION: Yarra Valley, VIC
VARIETY: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Sustainable

Located at around 300m elevation at the southern end of the Yarra Valley, much of the Gembrook subregion is situated on red volcanic soils, with small outcrops of granite scattered across the region. The vineyard this fruit is drawn from grows entirely on one of those patches of granite, and we see this so clearly in the tactile structure of the wines. An exciting addition to the village portfolio.

Brooding dark cherry and berry fruits draw you in, evoking memories of black forest cake. Density and compression on the mid palate unfurl, with bright fruits coming to the fore and chalky structure providing freshness.

Wine that speaks of place is what Mac Forbes is all about, truly championing Australian terroir. One of the best in the game.
