An icon among the best South African Chenin Blancs - a wine that changes the world. The Ken Forrester FMC Chenin Blanc was designed to mark Cape Chenins indelibly on the world map. A full-bodied, powerful wine with a whole range of flavours of dried apricot, vanilla and honey.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested and sorted by hand at optimum maturity, after which the fermentation process took place in the cellar in 400 litre French oak barrels with the help of only naturally occurring "wild" yeast. The wine was aged in French oak for a further 12 months after fermentation was completed.
