Ken Forrester Wines
The Winery Ken Forrester, founded 1993, is famous for its outstanding achievements in wine growing, especially for the Chenin Blanc, which earned its founder Ken Forrester the nickname "King of Chenin". Located in the renowned Stellenbosch wine region, the estate has built an excellent reputation for its high-quality wines that reflect the region's unique terroir.
In addition to the award-winning Chenin Blanc, the Winery also delights with other grape varieties such as the fruity Sauvignon Blanc and the elegant Chardonnay. The portfolio is rounded out with red wines, including the spicy Shiraz and the distinctive Merlot.
Particularly noteworthy are the highly praised Rhône-style cuvées, which highlight the winery's passion and commitment to exceptional quality.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The FMC Chenin Blanc from the Winery Ken Forrester definitely belongs to the top Chenin Blancs from South Africa and easily keeps up with the best white wines in the world. This Chenin Blanc finally puts South Africa on the map even for "New World critics".
The purebred FMC Chenin Blanc shows itself full-bodied and powerful despite its elegance. The wide range of flavor notes extends from dried apricot and vanilla to honey.
Only the very best grapes from the Winery are used to produce this white wine. The grapes were picked by hand and sorted exclusively at the ideal ripeness. Then, in the cellar, the fermentation process takes place only with naturally occurring "wild yeast" in 400-liter oak barrels.
Afterwards, the FMC Chenin Blanc from the Winery Ken Forrester spends another 12 months in French barrique.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
