The Mac Forbes Rieslings are built little differently to the average Australian Riesling.

Where most producers look for bone dry Riesling as their style staple, Mac isn't afraid of a little residual sugar. For him, it's all about getting finding the best balance for each wine, and with the tight granite soils of Strathbogie giving the fruit an intense minerality, Mac feels a touch of R/S puts this nicely back in balance.

This is Mac's 'off-dry' Riesling with 20 grams of sugar that remains giving a lovely fruit weight to the palate whilst maintaining freshness. It's long, fine and full flavoured, something approachable now but also something that will definitely do well with some time in the cellar.
