Mac Forbes Chardonnay 2011
Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaA few six-packs of the 2011 Chardonnay made its way to our province, giving some lucky folks the chance to taste cool climate chardy with a few years under its belt. 2011 was a blend of both Yarra Junction and Woori Yallock vineyards and their mudstone clay soils. White asparagus, green hedge, Meyer lemon, lime pith, subtle white blossom from this wet, lean year. There's certainly a tightness strung throughout this vintage, one that still feels underripe (11.8 degrees) even with a welcomed honey sheen heft of age. This was native and barrel fermented (15 percent new) with twice monthly battonage until the following spring, when it was bottled with minimal sulphur.Tasted: 06 January 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $37.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
