The Wine
Founded in 1988 by a doctor and a scientist, Forrest Estate was one of the first wineries in Marlborough. Winning a trophy for their first vintage in 1990, John and Brigid Forrest today own one of New Zealand's most acclaimed estates. They now have vineyards in premium Otago and Gimlett Gravels too. Grapes for Field of Stones Sauvignon are pure Marlborough, however, grown on the very stony soil adjacent to the Forrest winery. The fruit is harvested in the cool of the night and early morning to maximise the mineral freshness and the lemon thyme, elderflower and guava flavours for which this exclusive wine is renowned. Perfect as an apéritif, this outstanding white makes a fine accompaniment to shellfish, grilled fish or goat’s cheese salad.
"A uniquely mineral style of Kiwi Sauvignon from a superb single vineyard. Very elegant"
