2022 Mac Forbes Strathbogie Riesling
Description
WINEMAKER: Mac Forbes
REGION: Strathbogie Ranges, VIC
VARIETAL: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
This Strathbogie Riesling (previously ‘Spring’) is always a little more generosity and weight with structure building in all directions. Pink Quartz soils provide the profile and always show greater opulence than those wines from the granite soils of Caveat. Will age but drinks incredibly well now.
Lemonade fruit aromas with green apple, crushed stones, green apricot and notes of jasmine on the nose. Dry with a little opulence (3.6gm), medium - body with lemonade fruit and white grapefruit pith. Zippy but soft on the palate, fine high acid, citrus driven. A finer, more tuned Strathbogie, long and seductive.
Wine that speaks of place is what Mac Forbes is all about, truly championing Australian terroir. One of the best in the game.
