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)
Ken Forrester Old Vine Reserve Chenin Blanc 2007
R285
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.
