Pinot Gris, Forrest Estate, Marlborough
The soft fruity aromas and flavours of ripe pears. Clean, soft, off-dry finish.
John and Brigid Forrest have been quietly making themselves into the foremost private estate in the famous Marlborough region of NZ. Their extensive vineyards are to be found in the valley's prime locations and this gives them the ability to blend wines to a consistently high standard. Not content with producing wines from just the one region they have aquired land to the south in Otago and Waitaki and also in the Hawke's Bay region of the North Island.

Favourite wine of all
First tasting this in a little restaurant on Acland St in Melbourne's St Kilda; it easily became my favourite wine to date. Soft, gentle on the pallet but with a divinely crisp aftertaste.
A pity it is so hard to find in Brisbane.
