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
What started as a straight Merlot offering has evolved into a Bordeaux-inspired blend, offering the best of the 3 noble varieties of Bordeaux in one delicious bottle. Hints of cherries, black berry, coffee with meat spice and smoky undertones. Already beautiful smooth, with a softness of tannin but will keep at least another 4-6 years.
Food Pairing
Serve with meat dishes, grills and roast lamb.
