Place: Yarra Junction — Yarra Valley, VIC

Variety: Pinot Noir

Farming: Sustainable

Mac Forbes, one of the most well-known names in the Yarra Valley, has spent years championing sub regions of the Yarra. His new ‘Villages’ range is about exploring these unique sites. Yarra Junction is a project very close to his heart as it's a site helping mitigate climate change and future proofing his wines.

The wine sees 45% whole bunches, 15 days on skins then ten months maturation in old oak. An elegant, sumptuous wine with vibrant red berry fruits, a slight herbal edge and a long, elegant finish.
