Mac Forbes EB60 ‘Soul Sister’ Riesling Gewurztraminer 2023 from Mac Forbes in Victoria is a wildly aromatic, high‑energy white that takes Riesling’s drive and Gewurztraminer’s perfume, then pulls them into a seriously refreshing, ultra‑drinkable blend. It is bright, textural and built for long lunches and spicy food.

On the nose, Mac Forbes EB60 Soul Sister Riesling/Gewurztraminer 2023 explodes with jasmine, white florals, ginger root, coriander, fresh pear, lychee and citrus peel, all leaping from the glass. The palate is vibrant and zesty, stacked with lemony acidity, juicy orchard fruit and a moreish wet‑stone salinity, finishing drier and more savoury than the exuberant aromatics suggest at a modest 11% alcohol.

This Soul Sister blend is a dream pairing with Thai and Vietnamese dishes, lemongrass and ginger‑driven curries, salt‑and‑pepper squid, pork dumplings and fresh herb‑laden salads where its spice and acidity cut cleanly through richness. It is equally at home with soft cheeses or simple roast chicken with lemon and herbs, making it a versatile white to keep chilled in the fridge door.
