2023 Mac Forbes EB88 Potayto, Potahto, Tomato Monastrell
WINEMAKER: Mac Forbes
REGION: Riverland, SA
VARIETY: Monastrell
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
Whether you call it Monastrell, Mataro, Mourvedre or "that bloody grape I can never pronounce," we guarantee it tastes marvellous! A snazzy red variety that loves balmy summer days and an interesting possibility for alternative viticulture in Australia.
Bright and fresh, with aromas of red apple skin, plum and anise. Plush red fruits stand out on the front palate, while firm silty tannins work their way towards the back. Hints of pastry reminiscent of wildberry tart, but finishes quite savoury and long.
Wine that speaks of place is what Mac Forbes is all about, truly championing Australian terroir. One of the best in the game.
