Founded in 1988 by Dr. John Forrest and Dr. Brigid Forrest, the estate began with the establishment of vineyards in Renwick in the heart of the Wairau Valley. The founders transitioned from careers in molecular biology and medicine to viticulture, bringing a scientific yet environmentally conscious approach to winemaking. Over the decades, Forrest has gained recognition for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines that reflect Marlborough’s cool climate.

Many vines are more than twenty-five years old, contributing concentration and complexity to the fruit. Marlborough’s climate is cool, dry, and sunny with significant diurnal temperature variation between day and night. These conditions allow grapes to ripen slowly while retaining natural acidity. The well-draining soils and consistent sunshine encourage balanced fruit development, producing Pinot Noir with vibrant aromatics, fresh structure, and a clear expression of the region’s distinctive cool-climate character.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in small batches to preserve purity and site expression. Fermentation takes place in small open-top vessels, with gentle hand plunging used to extract color, flavor, and tannin from the skins. After fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the skins briefly to deepen structure before being gently pressed. The wine is then matured for approximately ten months in French oak barriques, using a combination of new and seasoned barrels to add complexity without overpowering the fruit.

The team works with a philosophy of low yields, careful hand work in the vines and minimal intervention in the cellar to protect texture and minerality. Winemaking is focused on harnessing concentration without losing freshness, so fruit is picked with precision and handled gently. The estate winemaking team blends French training and New Zealand pragmatism, producing a flagship Sauvignon Blanc that is structured, age worthy and gastronomic rather than purely aromatic.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe fruit comes from estate vineyards around Blenheim in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, where Clos Henri owns parcels on two distinct soil types. Glacial river stones provide excellent drainage and moderate vigor, giving wines with tension, flinty minerality and bright citrus character. Nearby windblown clays bring more texture, weight and depth to the palate. The climate is cool maritime with long sunny days, cool nights and steady breezes that help retain natural acidity and keep the grapes healthy.

They are gently pressed to minimize phenolic hardness, and the juice is clarified before a controlled fermentation, largely in stainless steel to retain aromatics and precision. A portion may ferment or mature in large, neutral vessels on fine lees to build mid palate weight and a silky texture without overt oak influence.

The absence of disease and favorable weather conditions allowed for optimal picking times, resulting in fruit with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. The vineyards are situated in the Wairau Valley and the Southern Valleys, where the combination of free-draining alluvial soils and a maritime climate provides an ideal environment for cultivating Sauvignon Blanc. The diurnal temperature variation in these areas contributes to the development of vibrant aromatics and crisp acidity in the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100% Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAfter harvesting, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes undergo gentle pressing to extract high-quality juice. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit characteristics and aromatic intensity of the varietal. A portion of the wine may undergo fermentation in older oak barrels to add complexity and texture. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on fine lees for several months, enhancing mouthfeel and integrating flavors. This meticulous approach results in a Sauvignon Blanc that is both expressive and refined, showcasing the purity of the fruit and the influence of the Marlborough terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2024 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc presents a pale straw color with green hues.
