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.

A luminescent gold wine expressing a myriad of tropical, peach, pineapple, apple and honeysuckle on the nose, layered with a touch of oatmeal and subtle oak spice. The palate follows through with a lavish concentrated fruit core and citrus marmalade, that gives way to a rich, yet elegant and coated mouthfeel. The finish is seamless with a lingering, complex aftertaste as indicative of its old bush vine origins

Subtle tropical fruit dominated by ripe yellow peaches, quince, guava and white pear on the nose. Elegant and well-balanced structure with loads of tropical fruit on the pallet and a fresh and crisp acidity followed by a lingering aftertaste.

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.
