Known for their balance and elegance, Ken Forrester Wines are perfect for both everyday sipping and special occasions. Their Chenin Blancs are especially popular, boasting flavours that range from crisp and fruity to rich and honeyed, making them a hit with a wide range of wine lovers.
Ken Forrester himself is a larger-than-life character in the wine world, who’s often referred to as the “King of Chenin.” His passion and dedication shine through in every bottle, earning the winery numerous awards and international acclaim. Their commitment to quality is evident in the close attention they give to every detail in the vineyard and cellar, and their organic viticulture practices not only protect the environment, but also produce better, more flavourful wines.
In short, Ken Forrester Wines is all about combining tradition with innovation, and the result is a range of wines that are truly a joy to drink. Grab a glass and enjoy a taste of Stellenbosch – there’s a unique personality to each one, much like their founder.
From the Handpicked Wine Cellars:
Ken Forrester’s celebrated Chenin Blanc has put them on the map, with its rich, full-bodied flavour and versatility. We can highly recommend the T Noble Late Harvest, which is packed with a number of fruity flavours, balanced with a smoky note. The Sparklehorse – a sparkling Chenin Blanc – is another favourite.
Also well worth a mention is the delicious Pat’s Garden Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend – a Bordeaux-inspired blend that’s rich with cherry flavours – and for the real fruit lovers, the Petit Rose.
