About The Wine
The Village series of wines from Mac Forbes aims to showcase the sub-regional differences and diversity of the Yarra Valley.
Gladysdale sits at the southern end of the valley, heading in the direction of Gippsland. This warmer pocket of the region produces a Chardonnay with a little more flesh up front and a more generous fruit weight in the context of the Mac Forbes range.
Compared to others in the region, this still sits in the finer end of the Chardonnay spectrum but for a Mac Forbes wine, it's golden, ripe and and flush with delicious primary fruit.
About Mac Forbes
If you love premium and artisanal Australian wine, Mac Forbes is a name you need to know. He’s not only one of the country’s most talented winemakers, but he’s one of the most influential spokesmen for promoting the concept of Australian ‘terroir’, believing that wine should represent a time and a place.
Mac specialises in single vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet from the Yarra Valley. His wines are delicate and finely etched, characterised by subtlety and grace.
His Pinot Noirs are fine-boned, Chardonnays are loved by those who look for fruit purity rather than winemaking artifice in the variety, his array of off-dry Rieslings from the Strathboogie Ranges are some of the country's most unique.
And his ever-expanding range of experimental wines is a treasure-trove for the curious drinker.
