Its Origins

Tatty Bogler is the label given to the Waitaki-grown releases by John Forrest of Forrest Wines. Just outside of Renwick, in Marlborough, the Forrest family has been crafting wines since the late 1980’s. Returning to family roots and generations of farming in the Marlborough region seemed a natural progression for John and Brigid Forrest. after successful careers in scientific research and medicine. Fast forward 30 years; many awards and accolades, various labels and vineyards across the country. Forrest is set for generations.

What The Critics Say

93/100 'Excellent' Cameron Douglas

"The signature of Waitaki Valley wine soils is firm in the bouquet framed by scents of limestone ad clay then aromas of red berries and plum. A fine savoury quality highlights some whole bunch suggestions then barrel spice adds breadth. Complex and youthful overall. As the wine touches the palate the texture of tannins along with the flavours of soil and fruit engage the senses quickly. On the second and third sips the complexity continue to unfold. A wine that reflects its origins as well as a winemaking style that shows-off Pinot Noir as well."

95/100 Bob Campbell MW (2012 vintage)

"Taut, elegant, firmly structured wine that is typical of the better wines from the excellent 2012 Central Otago vintage. Red and black cherry, plum, spice and cigar box flavours. Stylish wine with energy and good cellaring potential."
