Ken Forrester
Ken Forrester represents the true pioneering spirit of the post-apartheid South African wine industry. Drawing on the examples of top Loire whites, he has used his uniquely placed Chenin Blanc vines to maximum effect and has single-handedly led a Chenin Blanc quality revolution.
As a result Ken’s wines have achieved iconic status worldwide, from the beautifully balanced barrel-fermented Chenin FMC, to the silky fine red The Gypsy, made from
low-yielding vines. To encapsulate the true quality of Forrester’s wine portfolio the great value Petit Cabernet Merlot 2010 was awarded Best Red Wine of the Year 2011
by Neal Martin in Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
