Forester Estate is owned by the McKay family, and is situated on Wildwood Road, Yallingup, in the northern Margaret River region. Established in 2001, Forester Estate is a new generation winery that strives to showcase the distinct regional characters of northern Margaret River fruit. The Estate is surrounded by huge Eucalypt trees that once supported a thriving forestry trade established in the 1850’s. This forestry industry was the first to open up rugged land along the Leeuwin-Naturaliste ridge and provide jobs for many of the new arrivals. The Estate has a saw pit that was used by the original pioneers to mill timber which was transported by ox and cart to Yallingup-Siding, the nearby railway station. With over 30 years’ experience in the region, Kevin and fellow winemaker Todd Payne are relentless in their pursuit of producing quality wines. “My aim is not to get too big, but to focus my attention to detail and build complexity into my wines from the ground up.” Kevin continually maintains the emphasis on production, from grape to bottle, as a consistent super premium product.
