[SOLD-OUT] Mac Forbes Westwood Pinot Noir 2016

"Mac Forbes philosophy towards pinot is to look after the detail, keep it simple and respect the fruit. The onus is on fruit quality and balance and not on winemaking solutions or corrections. For us winemaking is an extension of the vineyard where we aim to capture the fruit expression and carry this through to bottle. We pick when the fruit is ripe but still crunchy to taste. 

 

Starting in 2012, a collection of Yarra Valley vineyards came together to work on developing a range of wines that offered regional clarity, were delicious and approachable. Made by Mac Forbes, these wines are fresh, with low inputs including no new oak, and minimal SO2 additions.

 

Brilliantly light in the glass. Gorgeous forest fruits and cherries on the nose. The front palate is rounded and generous with lively fruit characters, texture and silkiness. Wonderful balance of fruit and acid making this wine an elegant example of what the Yarra Valley has to offer."
