FORREST WINES - Quintessential Marlborough
Everything that is good about Marlborough is encapsulated in this range of wines. Fresh, flavourful and pristine with a strong sense of place, these wines express the best both grape variety and region has to offer.

THE DOCTORS WINES - Innovation & Excellence
Named after Drs John and Brigid Forrest, The Doctors’ range is about innovation and excellence.

New grape varieties, alternative winemaking techniques and select parcels of fruit all qualify to create very special wines under this unique label.

THE VALLEYS WINES - Capturing The Land
Created from the distinctive geography of Marlborough’s many river valleys, these individual ‘single valley’ wines express their unique surroundings and Dr John Forrest’s hands-on knowledge of the land – his ancestral home.

THE JOHN FORREST COLLECTION WINES - The Collection range was created by John as an attempt to capture the best the land, the vines and the vintage have to offer.

TATTYBOGLER WINES - Tatty Bogler is Scottish for scarecrow and pays homage to the early Scottish settlers of Otago, pioneers, who braved the harsh environment to carve a living from the land. Today their ancestors have established a thriving, internationally acclaimed, wine growing reputation.

NEWTON FORREST ESTATE WINES is a partnership between Australian viticulturist Bob Newton and Marlborough winemaker John Forrest and was established in 1988 to make wine from Bordeaux varieties grown in the unique soils of the Gimblett Gravels region.
