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
Made by the Cap Classique or traditional method, this wine aged for 29 months on lees to develop a creaminess and delicate mousse while still maintaining bright, fresh apple, pear and quince aromas.
Food Pairing
An ideal bubbly to celebrate with and equally at home with light creamy chicken and fish dishes.
