Critics Ratings

'Messrs Forrester and Meinert's 'challenge to the world', mostly old-vine Chenin Blanc harvested fully ripe and wild-fermented in new oak. Magnificent 2012 with remarkable freshness balancing rich apricot, fynbos honey, kitka bread and savoury spice notes. Stellenbosch WO.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*

'Ken Forrester's flagship Chenin is fresher and more restrained than the 2011, at least at this stage, but is still true to a well-established style, with pear, apple, quince and pineapple fruit flavours, subtle oak, plenty of texture, 10 grams of residual sugar and a volatile lift.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2014, 93/100
