Ken Forrester Swartland Terre Noir Chenin Blanc 2022

Terre Noire comes from two old-vine blocks in the Swartland – on the Paardeberg and Piketberg – and is a nicely focused, just off-dry Chenin Blanc that’s fermented and aged in older barrels. Passion fruit and lemon zest flavours are complemented by a stony, slightly salty finish. Drink date: 2024-2028. Score – 93. (timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2024)
