On one of the Cape's oldest wine estates, which was established in 1689, stands Ken Forrester farms.

Ken Forrester became famous for making what is regarded as the best Chenin Blanc in the nation. By eliminating chemicals and harvesting by hand, his estate practises sustainable farming.

Quality is important, but Ken also gives the community's people much-needed job opportunities by working the vineyards in labour-intensive methods.

Today, Cape Chenin Blanc confidently competes with the best in the world, frequently leading the pack with Ken Forrester wines. At the DWWA this year, his 2021 Old Vine Reserve Chenin Blanc took home the Best in Show award (97 points).
