Sauvignon Blanc
Forrest is certified sustainable and vegan friendly. New Zealand is known for its screwcap closures, and John led the charge, as well as the push to make lighter- alcohol wines. The Forrest family is all about zigging while others zag.
Tasting Notes
This Sauvignon Blanc opens with complex aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit and elderflower. The nose carries through to the palate, accented with thyme and sage. It’s full and generous in the mouth while remaining crisp and refreshing. There is a hint of minerality on the finish.
Vineyards
The Sauvignon Blanc was drawn from four vineyards located around Renwick in the Wairau River Valley. While each one has its own characteristics, they share the Wairau plains’ gravel-rich, free draining and devigourating soil profile. This classic Marlborough terroir is critical in achieving the smaller berries and lower cropping levels needed to produce premium Sauvignon Blanc.
Winemaking
The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the morning, cold settled and cool fermented in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is left on its lees to develop a textural creamy mid-palate, before being blended with a small oak component and then bottled.
