Mac Forbes Chardonnay 2023

This wine originates from Australia, within Victoria's cool-climate Yarra Valley region. Founded in 2004 by winemaker Mac Forbes, the winery is renowned for its site-specific approach and dedication to exploring the subregions of the Yarra Valley. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, early picking, and wild yeast fermentations in old oak to craft wines defined by high natural acidity, tension, and site purity.

It presents a medium body with driving natural acidity that leads into a long, clean, and persistent finish. The varietal composition is 100% Chardonnay. It has an alcohol content of 12% ABV and is not certified organic.
