Mac Forbes's annual Riesling release is named for the amount of residual sugar in the final wine: This year it's three grams. From 40-year-old vines on granitic soil in the Strathbogie Ranges of Victoria, this is a highly perfumed yet delicate wine. There's orange water, jasmine, a squeeze of lemon and a flicker of honey. The acidity is elevated but balanced by a chalky texture and a lovely concentration of citrus and florals. Still young and primary, this could use a few more years in the bottle to develop and for acidity to come down an octave.
