2007 Sauvignon Blanc

Leaving behind careers in medicine and molecular biology, Doctors John and Brigid Forrest established Forrest Estate in Marlborough's 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 NZ's national wine awards. Crisp, scintillating and irresistibly aromatic, with tangy gooseberry and 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
