Ken Forrester The FMC Chenin Blanc

The nose shows beautiful pear and fresh citrus, particularly grapefruit, perhaps kumquat. There are musky herbal notes present here too, difficult to define, something like rooibos. As always, the wine has a striking sense of purity. That classic Skurfberg saline vigour underpins the whole palate. This vintage is medium-bodied yet rich in flavour, with good length and balance.

Bon Courage's Like Father Like Son White is a Chenin Blanc with ripe, fresh tropical fruit flavours of guava, peach and a hint of gooseberry.

Grapes from various old-vine sites. Some reduction before peach, citrus and hay. Good depth of fruit and well-integrated acidity – as with many examples of Swartland Chenin from this vintage, this wine is textured and substantial even at low alcohol, 12.5% in this instance. Not overtly expressive but still layered

A barrel-fermented wine that rewards with a medley of apricot, peach and soft tropical flavours. The integrated palate showcases rounded oak integration and a fresh lime zest with mineral notes on the finish.
