                       Welcome

Welcome to Forrest Estate's classic Marlborough wines.


Since its first vintage in 1990, Forrest Estate has carved out a high reputation for its appetisingly crisp whites, and perfumed rich-flavoured reds.

Marlborough with its abundant sunshine, cool nights and dry autumn climate, allow the grapes a long flavour-intensifying ripening period, that has awakened the world to the beauty of New Zealand Wines.

John and Brigid Forrest are Forrest Estate 013 a small, very much 'hands-on" producer, of premium quality white wine from their home vineyards in Marlborough, whilst in, partnership, they produce the Cornerstone Bordeaux red from their vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels Region of Hawkes Bay and a premium Pinot Noir from their Bannockburn Vineyard in Central Otago

Leaving behind careers in molecular biology and medicine John and Brigid returned to Marlborough in 1989 to establish their first vineyard at Renwick - at the heart of the stony Wairau River Valley.

Vintage 1990 saw the first Forrest wine and immediate success with a trophy at the national wine awards - success that has been repeated both nationally and internationally over the subsequent vintages.

To the often asked question "why did you do it?" the answer is, a mixture of the wine 'passion' and a desire to achieve and be recognised and rewarded for ones efforts. In hindsight we struck upon a career which suits our personalities - a perfect blend of art and science.

Grapegrowing and winemaking is an exacting science, however it must have the artistic touch to give the wines 'soul'. That individual expression of style is the trademark of our wines - rich aromatic white wine, and powerfully scented reds - all impeccably structured and a joy to drink.
