Ken Forrester 2009 The FMC Forrester Meinert Chenin Chenin Blanc (Stellenbosch)
- $65
Ripe notes of red apple, honeydew, orange blossom and a touch of nuttiness are all augmented by a backdrop of gorgeous assorted wild flowers, adding complexity and liveliness to the bouquet and lush, round palate. Dried apricot drizzled with honey and gingery spice unfold on the close, but balanced acidity keeps the long finish mouthwatering and bright. Drink now–2014.

Ken Forrester 2006 T Noble Late Harvest Chenin Blanc (Stellenbosch)
- $55
The first nosing strongly suggests a square of pure, fresh honeycomb, but it’s closely followed by attractive notes of baking spice, candied orange peel, apple pie and dried apricot. Spicy notes of clove and ginger show real staying power on the finish, while appropriately assertive acidity keeps things fresh in the mouth.

A strong toasty streak lines the essence of this beautiful Chenin Blanc, adding character to the apple and pear fruit core. The mouthfeel is full and rich without being overdone thanks to the balanced acidity, while nuances of sweet spice, pie crust and wood-grilled Red Delicious all linger well into the long finish.

Ken Forrester 2004 Petit Chenin Chenin Blanc (Stellenbosch)

“Petit” in the case of this wine refers to the fact that this is the good-value Chenin from Forrester Vineyards. With its flowery aroma, ripeness, mature fruit, layers of nuts and just a hint of a soft aftertaste, this is a great value wine. Imported by Boutique Wine Collection.

- $15
A wine that shows that, with care, it is possible to make a successful wooded Chenin Blanc. This is currently a little closed up, but the wine shows great potential, with its spice, toast, dried fruits and touch of spicy pepper. This would work as a partner to Thai food.
