Our Review
Forester Estate is owned by Kevin and Jenny McKay. Winemaker Todd Payne has had a distinguished career, starting in the Great Southern, thereafter the Napa Valley, back to Plantagenet, then Esk Valley in Hawke’s Bay, plus 2 vintages in the Northern Rhône Valley, one with esteemed producer Yves Cuilleron in '08. His 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 fer. Exports to Switzerland and Japan. -JAMES HALLIDAY
