Ken Forrester “Old Vine Reserve Chenin” Stellenbosch 2023

Ken Forrester's "Old Vine Reserve Chenin" 2023 is a dry white wine crafted exclusively from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes, sourced from the renowned Stellenbosch region in South Africa. This golden-hued, full-bodied wine showcases a harmonious balance between rich fruit flavors and delicate oak nuances.

On the nose, it presents enticing aromas of melon and spicy baked apple. The palate is layered with mineral undertones, complemented by honeycomb and caramel flavors derived from extended lees contact. A subtle touch of vanilla from French oak maturation adds complexity to its smooth, lingering finish.

This versatile Chenin Blanc pairs excellently with a variety of spicy dishes, as well as full-flavored fish or chicken preparations. It is particularly well-suited to accompany seafood such as crayfish and prawns, enhancing the dining experience with its balanced profile.
