Winery Profile

Red 5 star rated winery - James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion 2013 - “Outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity. Will have at least two wines rated at 94 points and above, and had a five-star rating for the previous two years.”

Forester Estate is a locally owned winery situated in the northern Margaret River Region. The Estate is surrounded by huge Eucalypt trees that once supported a thriving forestry trade. The winery houses the best of new technology with proven traditional techniques to ensure the exceptional quality created in the vineyard is preserved in the finished product. Margaret River is famous for its pristine beaches, powerful surf, amazing caves, untouched forests and its worldwide recognition of super premium wines. Since the first commercial planting of vines in 1967, Margaret River has become regarded internationally for its wines, in particular Chardonnay, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The region is dominated by the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge that stretches some 100kms long from Cape Naturaliste in the north to Cape Leeuwin in the south. This “Ridge” is an old faultline that experienced an uplift in its evolution. The topography is thus undulating and dominated by ironstone ridges, granite knolls and limestone plateaus. Margaret River has a mild maritime climate, typified by warm dry summers and mild wet winters. The proximity to the coast helps protect the vineyards from extremes of temperature, minimising risks to both vines and fruit. The vineyard soils are of lateritic origin comprising ironstone gravel (commonly called coffee rock) and in some special vineyards, granite. The gravel provides excellent drainage and contributes strongly to the distinct regional flavour influences famous from Margaret River. Traditional winemaking techniques employed in the winery coupled with leading Australian technology will ensure Forester Estate wines always achieve complexity and finesse. All red wines are open fermented in small batches to maintain site integrity and the best are matured for 18-22 months in hand selected French Oak barriques. Whites are fermented cool using a range of yeasts and deliver vibrant fruit when young but also have the backbone for aging.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
