This fantastic barrel-fermented Chenin from a legendary producer is a round, full-bodied white with a complex structure. Rich and spicy enough to cope with full-flavoured foods, it is beautifully balanced with gentle acidity and typical honey and vanilla Chenin notes.

"Forrester has done more than anyone to popularise Cape Chenin Blanc. This, his midpriced version of a sadly underrated style, is honeyed yet fresh, with a touch of oak and tropical fruit richness."

"If anyone knows about making chenin blanc in South Africa, it's Ken Forrester. This example is marvelously complex. Crisp and dry as well as rounded and honeyed, it even has a hint of baked apple and tropical fruit on the nose and palate. Try it with Thai food, rich, creamy chicken dishes, or mushroom risotto."
