Ken Forrester Wines has a superb reputation for Chenin Blanc. A carefully selected cool vineyard site allows the grapes to mature while maintaining the all important refreshing acidity. Made by the Cap Classique or traditional method, this wine was aged for 8 months on lees and 28 months sur lattes to develop a creaminess and delicate mousse while still maintaining bright, fresh apple, pear and quince aromas. An ideal bubbly to celebrate with and equally at home with light creamy chicken and fish dishes.

GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Chenin Blanc

VINEYARD Region: Stellenbosch, Helderberg. Mature, irrigated vineyards with controlled yields. Planted in 1975. Old cordons removed in 2006 due to Eutypa. Re-trelissed on Double Perold trellis system. Block-farmed for specific wine purpose.
