Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Ken Forrester Reserve Chenin Blanc 2024 is a polished South African white wine from Stellenbosch, one of the Cape’s most respected wine regions. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, this wine reflects Ken Forrester’s strong reputation for the grape, offering a balance of ripe fruit, freshness, texture, and subtle oak complexity.

The wine opens with aromas of yellow apple, pear, peach, apricot, citrus zest, apple blossom, linden, jasmine, and smoky hazelnut. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well balanced, with ripe stone fruit, citrus freshness, chalky minerality, vivid acidity, subtle oak influence, and gentle notes of nougat and hazelnut.

This is a great choice for customers looking for a high-quality South African Chenin Blanc that is more textured and complex than a simple crisp white, while still fresh and food-friendly. Serve it with seafood, prawns, grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta, pork tenderloin, summer salads, goat cheese, spicy Asian dishes, and casual home dinners.
