In 1993 hospitality industry veteran Ken Forrester and his wife Teresa purchased the historic Scholtzenhof estate nestled at the base of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch. Originally established in 1689 as Zandberg the property is one of the oldest wine farms in the Cape. Ken enlisted the help of his winemaker friend Martin Meinert in replanting and revitalizing the vineyards with an aim to craft a white wine that could rival any in the world! And so it was that Ken Forrester Vineyards was established with a focus on Chenin Blanc production.

Soil: Duplex soils, fine sandy loam on a clay base. Yield: 8 tons per hectare, trellised vineyard.

Racked into second and third fill French oak barrels for 18 months. This adds complexity and structure to the soft natural tannins.
