Ken Forrester FMC Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch 2013
The just landed 2013 vintage FMC has been awarded ‘Gold Outstanding’ by the International Wine and Spirits Challenge competition 2015, and even scooped up the ‘Chenin Blanc Trophy’ for the best Chenin Blanc in the World!
Tasting Note:
Bright gold with green reflections. Somewhat austere nose but all the characters begin to develop then take off. Ripe apricot, honey, fynbos, yeasty notes and fine oak. Floral notes of white flowers and honeysuckle. All repeats in the mouth with deep, rich flavours on a great oak platform. Beautifully balanced. Long , extended finish. Good now but will develop with magnificence over four to six years or more. IWSC 2015
