‘Mr Chenin Blanc’, Ken Forrester

Loading player...

In the early nineties, Ken Forrester and his family settled into a rundown farm in the Stellenbosch area. He and his wife, Teresa, renovated the Chenin farm, transforming it into what it is today. When asked why Chenin, Forrester replies ‘It was well-established. I’d been to France and I’d seen Chenin in the Loire Valley and I couldn’t believe it was a missing part of a puzzle that nobody had played with in South Africa’.
