Pat's Garden Reserve

Roast lamb, grilled steak and hearty meat dishes.

Hand-harvested Stellenbosch parcels are selected for ripeness and balance. Cool south-easterly winds influence ripening; vineyards yield approximately eight tonnes per hectare.

Matured for 12 months in selected French oak barrels.

Individual parcels are harvested and selected before blending into a Bordeaux-inspired red.

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.
