Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Petit Pinotage has a simple ripe black currant and cassis-scented nose that is simple but joyful. The palate is ripe, rounded with good definition: ripe black joyful fruits with good freshness on the finish. Just add barbecue. Drink now.

Wine Spectator
Rich and polished, with dark plum, anise and black currant fruit that's liberally toasted but lively enough through the finish. Drink now. 6,000 cases imported.
In 1993, hospitality industry veteran Ken Forrester and his wife Teresa purchased the historic Scholtzenhof estate, nestled at the base of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch. Originally established in 1689 as Zandberg, the property is one of the oldest wine farms in the Cape. Ken enlisted the help of his winemaker friend Martin Meinert in replanting and revitalizing the vineyards, with an aim to craft a white wine that could rival any in the world! And so it was that Ken Forrester Vineyards was established, with a focus on Chenin Blanc production.
