Mac Forbes "Yarra Valley" Pinot Noir 2023

The Yarra Valley label is the regional overview of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. ʻYarra Valleyʼ is a blend of declassified barrels from grower vineyards and the Mac Forbes single vineyard sites.

Displaying a medium dark cherry hue with a brilliant edge, while the nose presents an abundance of nuanced red dark fruits. Subtle spice, hints of carbonic red fruits, and mineral stones add complexity, making it highly enticing.
