Description
WINEMAKER: Mac Forbes
REGION: Yarra Valley, VIC
VARIETY: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
Sitting behind the Waramate hills, this area encompasses both red volcanic and grey loam soils making it slightly more complicated to pinpoint a clear identity of this subregion. The undulating hills provide protection from the drier winds, the rainfall is slightly higher and the perfume, weight and structure appears more dense and effortless, pulling through seamlessly to the back palate.
Initially shy, but incredibly expressive with a little air, pithy citrus dances on the nose. Meyer lemon and orange marmalade bring intensity, freshness and generosity to the palate, with a touch of iodine adding tension through the mid. Structure is firm and tactile, drawing focus all the way to the back palate.
Wine that speaks of place is what Mac Forbes is all about, truly championing Australian terroir. One of the best in the game.

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.
