Winemaker Notes
This full-bodied Chenin harmoniously integrates ripe fruit with delicate oak nuances. The wine is beautifully balanced, with honeyed apple, complex mineral notes and a brilliant acidity through the core. Full flavored and rich, this promises years of great drinking as it ages

Wine Spectator
Offers an unadorned, crunchy feel, featuring Key lime, green almond and pear skin notes, with a light, open-knit finish. Refreshing, with good length.

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.
