Inspired by the Loire Valley (the home of Chenin Blanc), Ken Forrester has helped push its quality in the Cape. This is made from 35-year-old vines and aged for up to nine months in oak. It has great density and complexity with floral notes, grapefruit and spice on the long, creamy palate. 90/100.
Score: 90/100

My white wine selections for this time of year include, from South Africa, Ken Forrester’s Old Vine Reserve Chenin Blanc 2014. Chenin Blanc comes from the Loire valley in France and about the only other place is grows well is South Africa and Ken is a master craftsman of this variety. Nine months in French oak gives this wine an attractive golden colour with rich flavours of melon and spiced apple tart. A touch of caramel and honeycomb rounds off the palate.
