Ken Forrester Chenin Blanc 2010

Wade Bales teams up with “King of Chenin” Ken Forrester, whose restaurant background (which includes the successful 96 Winery Road) is reflected in his deliciously food-compatible wines.  Ken’s wines have a strong international following and have garnered hundreds of awards.  A bon vivant through and through, he is clearly the leader of the Chenin Blanc renaissance in South Africa.

Packed with Granny Smith apple crispness, this wine produced by Ken and winemaker Martin Meinert, shows a distinct sense of terroir and purity of fruit, and the elegant minerality is astounding. Try it with shellfish, rich salmon, creamy sauces or Thai dishes.
