Mac Forbes 2022 RS54 Riesling (6 Bottles) Yarra Valley

$288.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Who would pick this carrying 54grams of sugar? Well none of us to be honest. It is a wine of pleasure weaving through the elements but held together by tingling acidity and granitic minerality. Drink anytime of the day.

Pineapple, pink guava and pink grapefruit on the nose. The palate is medium dry with a touch of richness, mouth coating, salivating and elegant. Intially pink grapefruit, pineapple, yellow peach flavours lead to notes of honey, whipped cream and crushed stones. Length is good, the wine is elegant, moreish and delicious.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
A rather wet winter into a rather wet spring meant difficult flowering conditions (lowering yields) but big healthy green canopies, which our dry grown vineyards were very happy about.

Long cool mild summer at Caveat, with a longer ripening period than usual. We had to be agile to hit the right picking windows, but are really happy with how the fruit came out, quite precise whilst showing a few exotic fruit notes.

About Mac Forbes Wines

In creating Mac Forbes Wines back in 2004, there was a clear purpose to better understand and connect with where I am from. The more I have discovered over the years, the more I realise there still is to learn.

Today, we are driven by curiosity and a passion for the nuances of this unique place. In each bottle of wine we offer a small snapshot of our evolving understanding of the Yarra Valley, and hope that through sharing these wines you will find joy and excitement in the stories they tell.

Today, Mac Forbes Wines is woven together by a team of clever and passionate people, all contributing hugely in this demanding and slightly wild ride off the beaten track.
