Mac Forbes RS6 Riesling 2024

Mac Forbes’ RS6 Riesling 2024 is a cool-climate Riesling shaped by the Strathbogie Ranges’ high-elevation freshness and Mac’s hallmark precision. It’s a poised, modern Australian expression—lime-bright and mineral-edged—with a subtle, balancing sweetness that broadens the mid-palate without compromising the wine’s drive and clarity.

Appearance:
Pale straw with a faint green hue; bright and youthful.

Aroma:
Lifted lime zest and lime cordial, lemon blossom, crushed stone and talc, with a gentle note of barley sugar and fresh herbs.

Taste:
Taut and finely drawn: crystalline citrus (lime, lemon pith) and a delicate off-dry sweetness that adds texture and glide. The acidity is lively and linear, keeping the palate brisk, clean and refreshingly focused.

Finish:
Long, zesty and mouth-watering, finishing on citrus peel, chalky minerality and a neat, dry-leaning snap.

Food Pairing:
Spicy Thai or Vietnamese dishes, chilli-salt seafood, sushi and sashimi, green papaya salad, or roast chicken with lemon and herbs.
