One of Australia's brightest stars, Mac Forbes tells the story of Yarra Valley through the distinctive lens of his wines. Widely credited for shaping its reputation for sub-regionality and site distinction, Mac is part of a generation of producers who are injecting renewed vitality into the Valley where they were born and raised.

Paying special care to the interaction between grape and place, Mac believes that his role in the cellar is one of guidance rather than interference. Influenced by his affinity for the wines of Europe and his experience in consulting for estates like Penfolds and Niepoort, Mac has taken great care to understand the nuances of the Valley. The result is a portfolio of wines that are remarkably expressive and balanced, though forged in the harsh environments of Australia.

Join us for a walkaround tasting of Mac's latest releases. Taste Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Mac's Village range, which highlights the climatic influences across the different areas of the Valley, and the exquisite 2022 Hugh Cabernet-dominant Bordeaux blend.
