Drinking Window: 2022 - 2027
Forrester's 2021 Old Vine Reserve Chenin won a Best In Show at the 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards, so you know you're in good hands here. There's great apple fruit intensity thanks to vines more than 30 years old, and toasty, spicy complexity from partial barrel fermentation and maturation in oak. Concentrated, lively and ageworthy.
