Description
WINEMAKER: Mac Forbes
REGION: Yarra Valley, VIC
VARIETY: Nebbiolo
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
The crystal ball glows brightly with this one. We have long been convinced that Nebbiolo has a strong future in the Yarra, and every year of working with these grapes that belief strengthens. Still waiting for a crop on our own young dry-grown vines, we’ve purchased fruit from Dixons Creek once more and given it the same treatment as we do our Pinot Noir. Gentle extraction, a little whole bunch and lots of love.
Heady and nostalgic, you can’t help but smile when you bring the glass to your nose. Rhubarb and sour cherry, supported by a delicate dusting of fresh cocoa and lifted by pretty florals. The palate really opens up with some air. Elegant, seamless tannins weave around tightly coiled fruit with rhubarb and strawberry leaf lingering 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.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
