Description

The Villages range of Pinot Noir and Chardonnays was first added to the Mac Forbes stable of fine, detailed wines with the 2019 vintage. It bridges the gap between the regional Yarra Valley wines and his Single Vineyard expressions, and wonderfully highlights the sub-regional differences of the Yarra. Pristine Yarra Chardonnay from Mac Forbes, incredible life and intensity. A wonderful release from the Woori Yallock sub-region.

For both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the wines from Woori Yallock almost always top our Mac Forbes tastings. This outstanding Chardonnay release is both tense and plush, with intense citrus and spice flavours, a deep fruit core, and a fine minerality that guides a long, powerful finish. Classy, concentrated Chardonnay does not have to be big and buttery, and this is proof positive.. Loved it.

De-stemmed and crushed before pressing, nine months maturation in old oak.

Review

From two vineyards in Woori Yallock. A few hours skin contact before fermentation and maturation in mainly seasoned barriques. A very bright green gold. Opens with aromas of red apples, white nectarines, lemon-scented verbena and an attractive vanillin spice character. Seamless on the palate but still compact and tightly wound. Finishes long, taut and saline. Excellent now and it will age.
