This is a really world class expression of the Chenin Blanc grape.

Barrel fermented and aged, this wine has biscuity, toasty flavours, and great acidity which gives a freshness and depth. There is a touch of residual sweetness, which means it is wonderful with spicy food, especially Thai or Chinese.

In The Press:

"I adore Ken Forrester's FMC 2007...with its rich Chenin Blanc fruit, consistently one of the most delicious whites in the world,"
Olly Smith, The Mail on Sunday, 6 December 2009 (2007 vintage)

    Waitrose customer reviews
    My favorite wine,would recommend this to anyone, give me Ken Forresters FMC over a bottle of champagne any day! Rich, bursting with fruit and fabulous. DB, Huntingdon
    Wow…what a Chenin Blanc. This wine oozes class with its apricot and marmalade flavour with a honeyed, nutty, creamy finish. After tasting many Loire Chenins, and other South African versions, I have to say this blows them all away. TP, Stratford-upon-Avon
    Many thanks for those kind words regarding my FMC our premium white wine and especially to TP from Stratford-upon-Avon! Personally, I have to say that it is most rewarding to have achieved such great scores and reviews. The current 25 deal is just remarkable and makes this the best buy, certainly the best priced, FMC in the world. Go get a bottle now and please review it. I look forward to your thoughts. Warm regards Ken Ken Forrester, Winemaker, Stellenbosch, South Africa
