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. - Mac Forbes, Winemaker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mac forbes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47559453966589,"sku":"26618","price":47.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/6754\/4640\/files\/Winona-Wine-Mac-Forbes-2023-EB44-Nebbiolo-mac-forbes-Wine.png?v=1779434524"},{"product_id":"mac-forbes-2024-yarra-valley-chardonnay","title":"Mac Forbes - 2024 Yarra Valley Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Yarra Valley label is the regional overview of our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. ‘Yarra Valley’ is a blend of declassified barrels from our grower vineyards and the Mac Forbes single vineyard sites. They represent a snapshot from across the valley and our vineyards. Generally, they can be enjoyed young but cellaring will reward with increased complexity. The nose is an exotic mix of wet stones, quince, yellow melon and grapefruit. It's accompanied by subtle crushed herbs and lees, creating a pristine aroma. The palate offers a lovely, inviting experience with expanding texture, fruit density, and a caressing line of acid. As the wine stretches across the palate, notes of melon and ripe citrus expand, while the acid threads its way to the back palate. This wine is expected to continue improving for 5-8 years. We recommend serving this wine between 12-14 degrees. - Mac Forbes, Winemaker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mac forbes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47559454130429,"sku":"26620","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/6754\/4640\/files\/Winona-Wine-Mac-Forbes-2024-Yarra-Valley-Chardonnay-mac-forbes-Wine.png?v=1779438128"},{"product_id":"mac-forbes-2023-woori-yallock-pinot-noir","title":"Mac Forbes - 2023 Woori Yallock Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eSitting 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. Highly aromatic with notes of maraschino cherry, fresh mulch and orange oil leaping from the glass. The sweet and savoury interplay continues on the palate, with sappy amaro and rich red cherry compote packed in to a tightly coiled framework of endless sinewy tannins. The two soil profiles really showing off here.

Having to go all the way to Macedon to find Cabernet Franc fruit! We searched high and low in 2022 to find the perfect Franc, and ended up sending our vineyard team off with a trailer to the other side of Melbourne to secure this little parcel. A fun foray into a region we haven’t worked with before with a variety we know and love. The nose is bright \u0026amp; perfumed. Violet, blackberry, a little leafy with an edge of anise. Palate is pleasantly weighty with savoury, chalky tannins, and notes of blackberry compote, plum, pepper and bright fresh fennel frond. Lovely drinking at room temperature or with a light chill. - Mac Forbes, Winemaker. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mac forbes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47559454523645,"sku":"26619","price":47.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/6754\/4640\/files\/Winona-Wine-Mac-Forbes-2022-EB84-Cab-Franc-mac-forbes-Wine.png?v=1779932486"}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.notwasted.com.au\/collections\/mac-forbes.oembed","provider":"NOTWASTED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
