Text: Lara Potgieter & Ken Forrester Wines | Images: © Ken Forrester Wines featUre Terroir KEN FORRESTER Wines ACHIEVING THROUGH SERVING On the slopes of the Helderberg mountains near Stellenbosch in the heart of South African wine country lies one of the oldest vineyards in the Cape. 18
It is a fitting setting for the famed Ken Forrester, a top figure in the South African wine industry and a lover of quality, energy, nature and people. Before coming under ownership of the highly capable Ken, the farm had been through the hands of many powerful figures of South African society. In the late seventeenth century Simon van der Stel, the then- governor of the Cape, granted the property to the late Vryburger Frederick Boot, who later changed his name to Botha and was the forefather of both President Botha of the old Free State Republic and President Botha of the old South African Republic. Then called 19 ULTIMATE AFRICA - THE LUXURY TRAVEL GUIDE Zandbergh, the farm was later taken over, named Scholtzenberg and farmed for over 100 years before falling into dilapidation. In 1993 the Forrester family moved in, restored the exquisite homestead and lovingly revived the land to its current forty hectares of premium-producing vineyard - all proudly manicured, pruned and picked by hand. Old bush vines produce the Forrester flagship – a Chenin Blanc of complex structure and deep molded character. Other vines, some older than fifty years, produce a range of top quality wines that can all be sampled at the vineyard.
