Mac Forbes
Mac Forbes first donned the overalls in France at 19 years of age where he worked vintage, then he did the Roseworthy winemaking thing, spent some time at iconic Yarra Valley winery Mount Mary and now he's making booze up in the Yarra with convincing retro-modern attitude. He's bringing on his old world experience and making some wine in Austria, where he built a following as a savvy young consultant. Mac's wines are edgy and demanding and they are wines to really respect - he cuts no corners and takes no prisoners!
