Sorry, this item is no longer available
Product code: 00695152
Elegant, dry crisp white with subtle flavours of dried apricot, ripe pear and hints of honey, this wine is a fabulous example of how fine South African Chenin Blanc can be.
Ken Forrester has a justified reputation for South African Chenin Blanc and he knows there are few sites to rival Stellenbosch, sheltering in the shadow of the mighty Cape Mountains with its soothing breezes to nurture the grape. Working with M&S for more than 10 years on this bespoke blend he matures a small proportion in French oak barrels.

so so
No, I don't recommend this
Not as good as other wines I have tried this summer 2019 The House Wine White Spanish 2017 is much better and cheaper. La Vieille Ferme across the road in Waitrose is also good. All in all in Sevenoaks M&S has some of the best wines but you have to search around to find the best. Just because a wine is more expensive it does not mean it is the best. Wine also differs from bottle to bottle and one must have a clean palate. This wine improves with standing and lasts for at least 2 days in the fridge. So far the best I have had fro M&S is the White House Wine which is a great buy at £5.

Ken Forester is a genius with Chinin Blank. This one always lovely. Great with chicken or fried escalopes. For best flavour don’t over chill.

Excellent SA Chenin Blanc
Yes, I recommend this
Am often disappointed in Chenin Blancs available in this country. This wine is an exception. Really like its crisp clean flavour with just a hint of honey. Nicest white I've had for ages tasting like a much more expensive wine. Have reordered

WELL STRUCTURED
Yes, I recommend this
A good Chenin from this well respected grower who is now obviously a good supplier to M&S. We are SA Chenin lovers & would say this is slightly more than average for this price. Doesn't compare, in my humble opinion, to say the Bellingham Bernard Chenin but you gets what you pays for and this is a good buy
