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
The wine offers lots of concentrated red fruits both on the nose and pallet – strawberries, raspberries, hints of pomegranate and blueberry. Elegant on the palate with a soft mouthfeel and fruit sensation.
Food Pairing
Perfect to savour on it’s own but also a great companion to stews or boeuf bourguignon.
