Forrest Estate is one of Marlborough’s iconic wineries, and Dr. John Forrest is renowned for crafting distinctive, high-quality wines. This off-dry, Kiwi-style Riesling is a perfect example—elegant, expressive, and wonderfully balanced. Grapes are sourced from two contrasting sites: the gravel-rich, free-draining soils of the Wairau River Valley contribute bright citrus notes, fine acidity, and a pure line of minerality. Meanwhile, the Southern Valleys vineyard, with its older soils and clay components, adds richness and layers of stone fruit, spice, and a unique biscuity complexity. The result is a beautifully nuanced Riesling that’s vibrant yet delicate—equally enjoyable now or with a little time in the cellar. A heavenly combination that shows exactly why Forrest Estate continues to lead the way in New Zealand Riesling.

Classic aromas of intense lime, fresh apple, spice, with a mineral nuance fill the air.

The palate is juicy, taught and refreshing with zesty lime and apple influence through the easy mouth-watering finish. This delicious medium-dry Riesling can be enjoyed now and through 2028, with a ripe cheese selection. The recommended serving temperature is 6-8 degrees.
