Mac Forbes Wines represents the very best of cool-climate Yarra Valley winemaking. Driven by a relentless focus on terroir, Mac selects exceptional vineyard sites — many in the higher, cooler parts of the Upper Yarra — to craft wines that offer purity, tension, and unmistakable regional character.

For customers who value precision, freshness, and authenticity, these wines deliver in every bottle.

Mac’s philosophy is simple: let the vineyard tell its story. To achieve this, he works with sensitive farming, hand harvesting, gentle extraction, and minimal-intervention techniques. Oak is used sparingly and never dominates, allowing the wines to remain lifted, bright, and wonderfully detailed.

The range showcases what the Yarra Valley does best:

• Pinot Noir with fine tannins, red-fruit purity, and elegant structure

• Chardonnay that balances minerality with understated power

• Riesling that is vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully precise

• Select single-vineyard bottlings that highlight the unique personalities of sites like Woori Yallock, Hoddles Creek, and Gladysdale

For collectors and curious drinkers alike, Mac’s wines offer exceptional aging potential, high drinkability, and a consistent track record of critical acclaim. They are among the most expressive and site-faithful wines coming out of Australia today — a benchmark for modern Yarra Valley style.

Whether enjoyed young for their purity and energy or cellared to reveal deeper complexity, Mac Forbes Wines consistently reward those seeking wines with finesse, character, and a true sense of place.
