A complex cepage of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a balance of Merlot, totted up by smaller portions Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, sourced from neighbouring properties at Yallingup, the northernmost district of Margaret River. Particular attention is paid to inclusion of fruit from auspicious gravelly soils. Fashioned to retain youthfulness and fruit integrity, even after an extended ageing in French oak, a medium bodied, contemporarily styled Margaret River claret style to be enjoyed alongside meats with rich sauces or ripe, pungent cheese.
Around the vineyards, meticulous management of bud numbers through shoot thinning, achieves a balanced canopy and full fruit ripeness. Varieties come off in an orderly manner and the winemakers are rewarded by harvests of the finest quality. Each parcel is gently crushed into small open fermenters with traditional heading down boards under strictly controlled temperatures. Gentle extractions, always the priority at Forester, are achieved by daily drainings away from the skins and returning back. Batches are pressed to fermenters before being sent to a selection of seasoned and new, exclusively French oak barriques for completion of ferments, malolactic and eighteen months maturation. Alcohol 14.0%
TASTING NOTES
Medium red colour, purple hues. Clean, aromatic and complex, the classic Margaret River characters of currants, bay leaf and dank earth, a perfumed lift with red berry, cocoa and fine cedar oak. Medium bodied palate with on a length of suede tannins, currant, blackberry and red berry fruit flavours, underlying cedar oak and floral musk like perfume supported by lovely gentle tannins. A smooth, firm finish.
 Forester Estate
Forester Estate is a family owned winery situated on at Yallingup on Wildwood Road in the northernmost reaches of Margaret River
Built in 2002, Forester Estate is a new generation winery that strives to showcase the distinct regional characters of northern Margaret River fruit. The Estate is surrounded by huge Eucalypt trees that once supported a thriving forestry trade established in the 1850s. This forestry industry was the first to open up rugged land along the Leeuwin Naturaliste ridge and provide jobs for many of the new arrivals.The property has a saw pit that was used by the original pioneers to mill timber which was transported by ox and cart to Yallingup Siding, the nearby railway station. This timber, especially the hardwood Mahogany (Jarrah), was shipped out from Geographe Bay to countries around the world. Even today, many streets of London lie on the Jarrah trees milled from the forests of Margaret River. It is from this heritage that the name Forester Estate is derived. Forester Estate»
