James' Review

Forester Estate is owned by Kevin McKay. Kevin has built a 500-tonne winery, half devoted to contract winemaking, the other half for the Forester label. Winemaker Todd Payne has had a distinguished career, starting in the Great Southern, thereafter the Napa Valley, then back to Plantagenet, then on to Esk Valley in Hawke’s Bay, plus two vintages in the Northern Rhône Valley, one with the esteemed producer Yves Cuilleron in 2008. His move back to WA completes the circle. The estate vineyards are planted to sauvignon blanc, semillon, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and alicante bouschet. Exports to Singapore, China and Japan.
