Pretty Young Thing

2015 Yarra Valley Syrah

Mac Forbes Pretty Young Thing is a delightful red wine crafted from Syrah grapes, emerging from the picturesque Yarra Valley. This 2015 vintage showcases a medium-bodied profile, perfectly balanced with refreshing acidity that invigorates the palate. The wine reveals a prominent intensity of dark fruit flavors, including juicy blackberries and ripe plums, intricately woven with subtle hints of spice and earthiness that accentuate its character. The tannins are gracefully structured, providing a silky texture without overpowering the fruit. As an off-dry offering, this lovely Syrah is ideal for those who appreciate a fruit-forward wine that retains a vibrant character, making it a wonderful companion for a variety of dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

Australia

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.
