Pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, grilled chicken, or vegetarian pizzas.

It then spends about 12 months on the lees in the bottle.

The grapes are whole-bunch-pressed into a tank with no enzymes or sulphites added. We let it ferment with indigenous yeast and as the grape sugars drop because of the alcoholic fermentation, we wait for the magic number of sugar content left, and then bottle it while it is still busy with the primary fermentation. The carbon dioxide gas is now trapped in the bottle and causes the bubbles.

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.
