Only 186 Dozen made! Australian Chardonnay has never been in better form. This is up there with some of the best. These vines in Woori Yallock were planted in 1994 on a southerly aspect. This is always Mac's finest Chardonnay site and again in 2010 it has delivered. It's all class with a tightly focused core of crystallised, cool climate stone fruits, floral and spice notes, and a delicious creamy texture. There's a hint of solidsy complexity but it's very restrained. There is also a hint of grip and ultra fine acidity lending shape and length. Extremely long and simply delicious. We recommend this brilliant wine very highly.

The top of the chardonnay offering from Mac Forbes has an uncompromising purity and precision about it - the sort of stuff that makes for truly engaging drinking. The nose sits in the citrus spectrum, with lemon pith, grapefruit peel and some biscuity oak spice adding early complexity. The palate's seamless and crystalline, with piercing acid drive, citrus and white peach flavours, green almond and a bracingly fresh finish. Superb wine. 96 points. Nick Stock, Good Wine Guide, 2012.
