The winter slumber! This time of year requires careful planning and winter maintenance to ensure a healthy vine for the spring season. Careful selection of vines in pruning, cover crops and gentle care is needed to support our next harvest and ensure it is as abundant as 2022!

Pruning is a vital step in caring for the vines during the dormant phase. It can look like a rough practice but with a plant as vigorous in growth as grapevines, it ensures the best amount of growth for the next vintage while caring for the longer-term life of the vine. Read more 👉

Once the harvest is complete it is tempting to forget about the vineyard and focus on making wine, however, this time is exceptionally important for the vines and future vintages. The period in focus is after the ripe fruits have been harvested and before the leaves start to fall from the vines. Read more 👉 https://kenforresterwines.com/dormant-series-part-1/

Want to learn how you can support our local animal shelters to feed lost and/or homeless pets this winter? What about keeping those less fortunate people without a warm cosy fireplace or a roof over their heads warm throughout the cold winter months?

Here is how you can make a difference with our WINTER CHARITY DRIVE until the 31st of August:

🐶 For every 2kgs of clothes, blankets, towels or pet food you get 1 bottle of our delicious wine 🍷

All the donations will be distributed to charities and shelters in Stellenbosch and Helderberg. We are trying to get in as much as we can to help those in need.

The drop off point is in our cozy tasting lounge any day of the week. Why not stay a while and taste our wines or indulge in a delicious cheese board or shop our deli?

The Best Chenin Blanc in the world!
•
•
•
We are delighted and very proud to announce that our Old Vine Reserve Chenin Blanc 2021 was awarded “Best in Show” at the 2022 @decanter World Wine Awards.
•
Decanter tasting note reads:
“
We've had Chenin Blanc-based wines from the Loire in our Best In Show selection, but never yet a Chenin from the country with more of this variety planted than any rival nation: South Africa. That changed this year with this stylish Chenin from Stellenbosch. Gone was the sometimes over-fleshy, over-crafted style associated with ambitious Cape Chenins in the past…An outstanding Chenin, in sum, perfectly pitched both as a varietal and as a Stellenbosch classic”
•

•
Well done to Ken and the team! What an amazing achievement!
•
Don’t wait, get your hands on this wine asap and see for yourself!
