Leaving behind careers in medicine and molecular biology, Doctors John and Brigid Forrest established Forrest Estate in Marlborough's stony Wairau River Valley in 1989. This cheery pair won a coup at their first vintage, scooping a trophy at NZ's national wine awards. Their late-harvested Riesling is intensely perfumed with scents of spice, honey and raisins. Sweet yet beautifully balanced and silky- textured, it's delicious with baked apples.
