James' Review

Forester Estate is owned by Kevin and Jenny McKay, with 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, back to Plantagenet,then Esk Valley in NZ, plus two vintages in the Northern Rhône Valley, one with esteemed producer Yves Cuilleron in 2008. His final move back to WA completed the circle. The estate vineyards are planted to sauvignon blanc, semillon, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and alicante bouschet. Exports to Japan.
