About
For the Reserve range in the Ken Forrester portfolio, the fruit is sourced mostly from the family property in Stellenbosch, situated just 5 km from the cool Atlantic, in the sheltered lee of the majestic Helderberg mountain. This range includes older vineyards, showing more depth of character and concentration. Ideal food wines, with structure and elegance.
