Tasting notes
The Ken Forrester Petit Chardonnay presents itself as a fresh, lively white wine with a pleasant complexity. On the nose, aromas of citrus fruits such as lime and grapefruit unfold, paired with tropical fruits like pineapple and a hint of peach. On the palate, the wine shows a balanced freshness and creaminess, with a fine minerality and a delicate hint of vanilla that unfolds gently. The fine acidity ensures a lively yet harmonious finish
Chardonnay
The grape variety Chardonnay is nowadays considered one of the most well-known white wine grape varieties and is sought after all over the world. Chardonnay originally comes from the French Burgundy. Here is a small community called Chardonnay where Winemaker have been successfully cultivating the grape variety for many hundreds of years.
Chardonnay white wines are also very popular outside of France. Worldwide, there is a strong increase in the cultivated area. Currently, Chardonnay vines cover an area of approximately 175,000 hectares.
Like many white wines in South Africa, Chardonnay has very fruity aromas, which is attributed to the many hours of sunshine and the maritime climate.
Since Chardonnay ripens best on calcareous, warm soils, the wines from South Africa taste excellent. The country also offers the grape variety optimal conditions with its climate and terroir.
The grape variety Chardonnay often has fresh aromas of citrus, apple, and melon. With aging in oak barrels, this white wine can also exhibit notes of caramel, hazelnut, and vanilla, which are appreciated by connoisseurs. After the grape variety Chardonnay was often processed with strong wood influence in recent decades, the trend is increasingly moving towards milder styles.


Matches with
Ken Forrester Petit Chardonnay is an excellent companion to grilled fish or seafood, such as salmon or shrimp, as its fruity aromas perfectly complement the light flavors of the seafood. It also pairs excellently with chicken breast in lemon herb marinade, fresh salads, or oysters. It also goes well with delicate cheeses like goat cheese or Camembert. The wine is also excellent as an aperitif for a relaxed gathering.

Es wurde sowohl in den Weinbergen als auch auf dem restlichen Weingut eine ausführliche Renovierung vorgenommen.Heute trägt es den Namen Ken Forrester und ist für seine exquisiten Weine bekannt. Mitten in der malerischen Weinregion Stellenbosch liegt das erstklassige Weingut Ken Forrester an den Hängen des Helderbergs. Das Weingut Ken Forrester wird von vielen als die Heimat des Chenin Blancs betrachtet.

Der Winzer und Besitzer Ken Forrester begann vor etwas mehr als einem Jahrzehnt mit der Weinherstellung. In zehn Jahren ist die Produktion von anfänglich 400 Kisten auf etwa 85.000 gestiegen. Inzwischen ist er weltweit als Mr. Chenin Blanc bekannt. Eine seiner Fähigkeiten ist offensichtlich sein feines Gespür für das richtige Timing. Vor elf Jahren kaufte er eine verlassene Weinfarm, die für etwa sechs Jahren nicht mehr bewirtschaftet wurde. Dies war zu einer Zeit, als die Weinbranche in der Flaute steckte, und wie ein geschickter Surfer erwischte er die Expansionswelle der südafrikanischen Weinindustrie nahezu perfekt.

Switzerland - Shipping to the German border area
A cheaper and not much more complex alternative is to have the wine delivered to the German border area and do the customs clearance yourself. You will then receive the German VAT back, have an allowance of 5 liters per person and pay 2 CHF duty for each additional liter.
We also deliver free of charge within Germany for orders over €120. Furthermore, you don't have to coordinate with the courier and make sure someone is there once the delivery arrives.
If you don't have the opportunity to have the goods delivered to friends in the border area, then we can have the wine delivered to a UPS access point near the border near your home. You don't need to register, there are no additional costs and you just have to pick up your wines there within a certain time frame.
There are also various providers of parcel shops from which you can have your parcel picked up for a small fee, e.g. SWISS-PAKET - with branches in Waldshut-Tiengen, Laufenburg, Weil am Rhein, Jestetten & Rheinfelden or EURORETOUR - with branches in Waldshut- Tiengen, Laufenburg, Weil am Rhein & Konstanz.
Upon request, we will send an export receipt, which you can have stamped at customs and sent back to us. We will then refund you the German VAT minus a processing fee of €12.00.
Please note the opening hours of the customs offices! The customs offices usually close on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. and are closed on Sunday! For more information about opening times and customs clearance see https://www.ezv.admin.ch.
To declare customs, you just drive to the right at the border. You can also easily skip the customs queue and pay with an EC card.
The officials are friendly and you can also get competent information over the phone.
Please note that this form of reimbursement involves costs and effort. Therefore, we generally deduct €12.00 from the VAT amount to be reimbursed for this expense.
Taxes, duties and levies in the EU
All taxes, customs duties and duties for Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Luxembourg, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Cyprus (Greek part only) are included in our prices .
The following countries levy an excise tax on wine (as of May 2021): Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Poland. Due to their transport within the EU internal market, postal items from European Union countries are regularly not processed by the customs administration. These shipments are therefore generally delivered directly to you without any import taxes being charged. However, this does not mean that the goods are generally duty-free. Under certain conditions, postal items transported within the EU may also be checked. To this end, the customs authorities are allowed to have postal items opened and check whether they contain goods that are subject to excise duty or whose import, transit or export violate legal prohibitions and restrictions. The secrecy of letters and mail is restricted in this respect. If you receive goods subject to excise duty, you are generally obliged to report this to the responsible customs office and pay duties if necessary.
Due to legal regulations, we only deliver to people over 18 years of age. This can be checked by our shipping agent. Therefore, please make sure that an adult can accept the delivery.
