From our older vineyards, hand harvested and 2 selections – one batch naturally fermented on French Oak Barrels and a second batch fermented in Stainless Steel to preserve the freshness and the fruit (about 50/50)
Here we are solely responsible for the cultivation of the vines and selection of the fruit, mostly from our family property in Stellenbosch, just 5 kms from the cool Atlantic and in the sheltered lee of the majestic Helderberg mountain. This range includes older vineyards, showing more depth of character and concentration. Ideal food wines, with structure and elegance.
Ken Forrester Old Vine Reserve Chenin Blanc 2007
R315
This wine shows lovely complexity with mix of tangy grassy notes, fig leaf, peach and nectarine nuances. Cool climate elegance.
TASTING NOTES
Golden hued and full bodied, with melon and spicy baked apple aromas. Layered, with mineral notes enhanced by honeycomb
and caramel flavours from lees contact. This wine is a great example of the harmonious balance which can be achieved between
fruit and delicate oak/vanilla flavours, as they combine to form complex, soft flavours with sufficient body to enhance even spicy and full flavoured meals.
FOOD SUGGESTIONS
Can be served with varied spicy dishes, full flavoured fish or chicken dishes. Ideal with crayfish, prawns.A true benchmark for relaxed enjoyment.
