The Silver Rose

Beef, Mature and hard cheese

I’m not certain but it may have been the first “new” Grenache vineyard in Stellenbosch. The last and only previous Stellenbosch vineyard was in Devon Valley and planted in the early 1960s!

Spent 9 months maturing on the fine lees in tank.

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.
