Leaving behind careers in medicine & molecular biology, Doctors John & Brigid Forrest established Forrest Estate in Marlboroughs stony Wairau River Valley (not a million miles from Cloudy Bay) in 1989. This cheery pair won a coup at their first vintage, scooping a trophy for their Sauvignon at NZs national wine awards. Crisp, scintillating & irresistibly aromatic, with tangy gooseberry & tropical fruit flavours, this excels with incendiary Thai dishes. " Beautiful passionfruit fragrance, but not in your face at all. A fantastic example of NZ Sauvignon with elegance." Wine & Spirit, May 2008
