2007 Forrest Estate Rose, Marlborough

Leaving behind careers in medicine and molecular biology, Doctors John and Brigid Forrest established Forrest Estate in Marlborough's stony Wairau River Valley in 1989. This cheery pair won a coup at their first vintage, scooping a trophy at NZ's national wine awards. Their rosé is summer incarnate. Vibrant pomegranate pink, with fresh raspberry, blueberry and redcurrant flavours and a twist of lime. Deckchair wine.
