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 is rich and layered, featuring dried apricot, vanilla, and honey aromas. It is expected to gain additional complexity with cellaring.
Food Pairing
The FMC 2024 pairs excellently with spiced dishes, mild seafood, shellfish, and curries. It is also enjoyable as an aperitif with special friends.
