Baltasis sausas
Vynas gaminamas iš mažo derlingumo, senų (1974 m. pasodintų) Chenin Blanc vynuogynų. Vynuogės skinamos jau pilnai sunokusios. Dirvožemis turtingas geležimi, moliu bei smėliu. Vynas 12 mėnesių brandintas su mielių nuosėdomis prancūziško ąžuolo statinėse. Matthew Duke spontaniškai prisidėjo prie vyno pavadinimo The FMC įvertinęs šį vyną kaip: "This is frickin marvelous chenin”. ( Tai nuostabus šeninas).
Svarus ir intensyvus baltasis vynas atsiskleidžia per vaisiškas, džiovintų vaisių, ypač abrikosų natas. Kompleksiškumo suteikia medaus ir vanilės akcentai. Vynas, turi itin didelį brandos potencialą.
Patiekti 10-12 °C su švelniomis jūros gėrybėmis, vėžiagyviais. Puikiai tinka su egzotiškais rytietiškais prieskoniais pagardintais patiekalais.
The 2013 The FMC is a blend of five selections of Chenin Blanc chosen by Ken Forrester walking and tasting through the vineyard. It is pressed off into barrels and matured in around 40% new oak. Then there is a barrel selection at the end of the process. It has a lightly honeyed, orange blossom, marizpan and toffee apple-scented bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is very fresh on the entry, the acidity neatly cutting through the slightly viscous texture, plenty of tension here with fine precision and poise towards the finish, hints of grilled almond and walnut lingering on the aftertaste. This is a stylish Chenin Blanc that should age with style.
"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.
