Ken Forrester
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.
Description
This wine presents a golden hue and a full-bodied texture. It has rich aromas of melon, baked apple, and subtle spice. The palate is layered with mineral notes, honeycomb, and caramel, enhanced by contact with lees. The balance between fruit and oak creates a harmonious, soft complexity.
Food Pairing
It pairs wonderfully with spicy dishes, full-flavored fish, chicken, crayfish, and prawns, making it a versatile wine for rich or aromatic cuisine.
