Description
The Forrest Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a brilliant expression of Marlborough’s iconic terroir. Crafted from four vineyards in the Wairau River Valley, this wine captures the essence of the region’s gravel-rich, free-draining soils. The nose is an enticing bouquet of passionfruit, grapefruit, elderflower, and floral blooms, setting the stage for a mouthwatering experience.
On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc delivers vibrant passionfruit and guava flavors, complemented by aromatic herbs like lemon thyme and sage. Its crisp and refreshing mouthfeel is balanced by a dry finish, with a touch of salty minerality that enhances the wine’s complexity. Rated 94/100 by Bob Campbell MW, it achieves a perfect sweet-sour balance, making it an ideal match for fresh seafood, salads, or simply enjoying on its own.
