2023 Mac Forbes Riesling

A light, zingy dry to off dry Riesling that has zesty acidity and an elegant finish.

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Delightfully aromatic the nose offers up red apple, pear, lime and honeysuckle scents followed by a whiff of orange blossom and some delicate mineral notes. Light and zingy across the palate, lime, red apple and subtle honeysuckle flavours are underscored by zesty acidity. Orange blossom infusions and flinty mineral elements are also evident. Finishes dry to off dry with an elegant and invigorating aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 11%

Other Reviews…..
From a vineyard planted in 2005. Matured in a combination of stainless steel and small and large oak; 3g/L RS. A light, bright green gold. Mac's always had a great feel for riesling and this is another goodun' in a long line. White flowers, gentle Meyer lemon and orange blossom lead onto the palate, where the fruit is beautifully balanced by the wine's zesty acidity. Drink now and over the next 10 years. Drink by 2029.
