Forest Wines has been a strong presence in the New Zealand wine industry for over 30 years and is based in the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand's leading wine region.

This land has been home to the Forrest family for generations and is dear to them, and their winemaking is tied to a deep love for the place and a focus on making the most of the local natural environment.

Founders John and Brigid Forrest had successful careers in scientific research and medicine but in the late 1980s, at a time when New Zealand's wine industry was still in its infancy, they made a brave career change and decided to return home to set up a winery.

Their winemaking aims to combine scientific knowledge with the power of nature. As a result, their first vintage, a Merlot Rosé, won a trophy in 1990, and they have continued to produce innovative wines ever since.

Their wines are highly regarded by wine lovers and experts around the world, particularly in the Marlborough region where the wine industry is expanding at a large scale, and the strong commitment that comes with being a family business is reflected in the unique quality of their products.

Unlike large wineries, we produce small quantities of wine but maintain high quality, pursuing both tradition and innovation.

Currently, his daughter Beth Forrest is in charge of running the winery, bringing a breath of fresh air to the winery with the knowledge and skills she acquired at the University of Adelaide in Australia. She aims to create wines that meet the needs of today while preserving the family traditions.

Under Beth's leadership, the winery is producing more diverse and distinctive wines than ever before and is poised to continue its legacy for the next generation.

Their products have won numerous awards in domestic and international competitions, and their high quality is due to the balance between the natural environment and a scientific approach. Their consistent quality control and respect for nature are embodied in every bottle.
