Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Forrest is a family Marlborough estate founded by Dr John Forrest, a champion of alternative varieties in a region dominated by Sauvignon Blanc. Its Albarino is grown in Marlborough's Southern Valleys, where cooler, clay-rich soils and the valleys' aspect give a distinctive fruit lift while retaining the variety's characteristic acidity and stone-fruit and citrus profile. Farming is site-focused, aiming to translate the Iberian white into a Marlborough idiom. The 2025 growing-season detail should be confirmed with the winery, but the Southern Valleys' cool nights underpin the fresh yet textural, full-bodied style that has earned the wine gold medals at New Zealand wine shows.

Vinification

The Albarino is picked to preserve its bright natural acidity and made in a style that balances freshness with a rich, textural mouthfeel. Careful pressing and cool fermentation protect the variety's white peach, pear, apricot and quince aromatics and orange-zest lift, while lees work builds the full, textural palate and a drying, mineral finish. The wine is designed to be refreshing yet substantial, with vibrant acidity framing a balanced, satisfying body. Precise fermentation vessel, any lees or oak component, and elevage length for the 2025 release should be confirmed with the producer.
