Forrest Estate, Reserve Cornerstone, Hawke's Bay

Forrest Estate, Reserve Cornerstone, Hawke's Bay

Forrest Estate has been crafting wines since the late 1980s and have since become one of the most renowned producers in New Zealand, and notably Marlborough. A family run business, the estate is now managed by the second generation, Beth, who is also winemaker. Cornerstone Vineyard lies at the heart of the renowned Gimblett Gravels viticultural region, an area that is celebrated as New Zealand’s premier Bordeaux red grape-growing region. The vineyard’s unique terroir, composed of riverbed stones and gravels, challenges the vines, leading them to produce a limited yield of small, intensely coloured, and flavourful berries.

Description

After careful handpicking, the grapes were crushed, fermented, and then aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels. The resulting wine has enticing aromas of berries, leather, anise, and spice. Whilst on the palate, notes of dark red fruits, plum and blackberry, and chocolate shine through, with rounded tannins balancing a smooth, slightly oaky character. The 2016 is drinking beautifully now but will continue to develop even more ageing. Pair with a hearty beef stew or roast beef.

How does it taste

Enticing aromas of berries, leather, anise, and spice draw you in. Whilst on the palate, notes of dark red fruits, plums and blackberry, and chocolate shine through, with rounded tannins balancing a smooth, slightly oaky character. All of which result in a wine that is drinking beautifully now. Pair with a hearty beef stew or roast beef.
