The classically dry Margaret River style, though pleasingly not completely dry, Forester Estate is saturated with fully ripe, rich fruit, unfettered by any oak. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from neighbouring properties in the northern Yallingup sub region of Margaret River. Direct input from Forester's viticulturist ensures well balanced canopies and crops are grown for this ripe and judiciously unwooded white. A highly regional, vital white wine that goes down easy with seafood, approachable and satisfying, innately suited to good Al fresco cuisine.
A splendid component of Semillon gives this wine plenty of strong regional citrus and herbaceous characters. Modern white winemaking techniques are employed, temperature control is considered critical from the moment the fruit reaches the winery. Grapes are destemmed and crushed, then must chilled and pressed off skins in a very short space of time. The must is cold settled for two to three days before being racked and clarified into fermenters, a range of specially selected yeasts are employed. A small portion of oak barrel ferments and maturation are employed to add texture and complexity, achieving a flavoursome young white in the inimitable Forester style. Alcohol 13.0%
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw yellow colour. Clean, fresh and varietal Margaret River characters of lemon thyme, pea pod and honeydew melon. Full and textured with refreshing acidity. Showing dried herbs, citrus and pea pod flavours right through the long, crisp palate. The definitive Forester style, a supple yet refreshing drink that's punctuated by juicy ripe citrus fruit, dusting of dried herbs and crisp mouth watering finish.

About Forester Estate Wines
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»
