The Misfit Grenache

Perfect to savour on it’s own but also a great companion to stews or boeuf bourguignon.

This Grenache is a small batch produced from a limited amount of barrels. The fruit is sourced from a parcel in Piekenierskloof and also Stellenbosch, blended together in order to bring you the best of both worlds of what this variety can offer.

It has soft refined tannins and aged in old French oak barrels for up to 12 months.

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.
