The Mac Forbes RS19 Riesling is a pale straw color with a green hue. On the nose this wine has lime pith, melon, lanolin and guava balanced with savoury lees influence. Background of stones and white floral notes. The palate is firm and weighty with harmonious balance and line. Again lime and exotic fruits, ginger and orange peel with a stony finish and weight to balance.
All of their riesling in 2017 were crushed to the press and so remained until they felt the juice had built up enough tannin. Then this juice was pressed slowly to large old oak and sometimes tank where the wine remained without any additions other than SO2 until bottling in August.
Over the past 13 years, Mac Forbes have always been overwhelmed by the presence of our Caveat vineyard in the Strathbogie Ranges. A supposedly sealed road that wanders north from Yea climbing to the elevated granite soils that sit 600m above sea level. Generally 5 degrees cooler than the valley floor, this small vineyard is surrounded not by other vineyards but rather unforgiving grazing land. With the often challenging conditions of 2016 (heat and drought) they were once again curious to observe the resilience of these wonderful vines planted in 1983. Unirrigated, they are unrushed and once again delivered fruit of pure dimensions, stunning granite soil influence on the back palate holding line and offering great presence.
