Raudonasis sausas
This wine comes from low yields vineyards with small, concentrated berries resulted in a limited production of a little over 1500 bottles.
Almost 3 years of barrel ageing before making up the final blend, only to bottle the wine and allow it an additional 2 years of bottle age.
65% Grenache and 35% Syrah. Grenache (planted 1959) comes from decomposed granite soil at 450m while Shiraz (planted 1999) is from ancient gravels onto clay soil.
A very concentrated, focused blend with layers of deep fruit. Hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, dark spices, with vanilla scents and a distinct, concentrated red-fruit focus. Great for laying down and keeping for at least ten years but already rewarding if allowed to breathe in a decanter.
Serve at 16-18 °C with duck, wild poultry, smoked meat.
"Our idea was simple - to create the best wine. We didn't have anything to show for the first four or five years," says Ken Forrester. But when he brought a bottle of wine to London for Mattew Duke, he got an incredible reaction from him. It was an expression of Chenin Blanc from South Africa unknown to wine experts. Matthew Duke was not restrained and described this wine as "This is frickin marvelous chenin." The philosophy of this winery is very simple: to produce the best wines. Although not certified, Ken Forrester wines are produced in an effort to meet sustainable and environmentally friendly standards.
