The Yarra Valley is one of the homes of great Australian Chardonnay. Getting the best out of Chardonnay from this region is definitely an area of expertise for Mac Forbes.
If you like a more linear, modern expression of the variety, walk this way. All of Mac's Chardonnays strike that lovely balance between elegance, finesse, and freshness. They're fine-boned, pure and superb to drink. It's designed to capture the essence of Yarra Valley Chardonnay.
This is quintessential modern Yarra Chardonnay that will mature beautifully over the medium term.

"Tightly wound but clearly good with its aromas of subtle orchard fruits, yellow flowers and a little struck match. Fills out on the palate, and there's some real density to the fruit. Very well balanced. I like, too, how Mac Forbes' chardonnays are just that little more approachable in their youth these days."
