Three decades ago, Joburg restauranteur Ken Forrester decided to move to Stellenbosch to become a chenin blanc specialist. That has paid off in a major way this year — the Ken Forrester Old Vines Reserve Chenin Blanc 2021 was awarded a Best in Show Award at the Decanter World Wine Awards.

Three decades ago, Joburg restauranteur, Ken Forrester, decided to shift gears and careers and move to Stellenbosch to become a Chenin Blanc specialist. That move has recently paid off in a major way in 2022. The Ken Forrester Old Vines Reserve Chenin Blanc 2021 was awarded a Best in Show Award at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards. With a stellar score of 97% points, this sustainably produced wine is not only world class but incredibly well priced at under R150 from most retailers. This is a delicate, crisp and balanced Chenin that has stamped South Africa’s position and Forrester on the finest, global wine map.
