Ken Forrester is the winemaker at his own eponymous winery in Stellenbosch, where he currently produces around 110,000 cases a year, of which about 10 percent is exported to the United States. He's worked hard over the years to replant and restore his nearly 99-acre vineyard, which has served as farmland of some sort since the late 1600s. While some South African vintners are now concentrating on various red varieties and blends, Forrester remains committed to showing off South Africa's already proven potential to produce high-quality Chenin Blanc. His wines were even served at Nelson Mandela's 85th birthday party. This Stellenbosch of light gold with bouquet of vanilla, cream sickle, and faint orange sherbet in a sweet lime pronounced nose that is really very nice.
Palate--good acid, lemon rind with sour orange, light pink grapefruit, off dry and good example of a Chenin Blanc. Raise a glass to a favorite and most underrated grape variety!
