✨ The pinnacle of South African Chenin Blanc, The FMC (Forrester Meinert Chenin) is a single-vineyard masterpiece that defines richness, purity, and finesse in every glass.

👁️ In the Glass:
Brilliant golden straw with glints of amber—a sign of both ripeness and meticulous oak ageing.

👃 On the Nose:
A deep, complex bouquet of sun-dried apricots, golden peach, orange blossom, and wild honey, lifted by toasty nuances of brioche, vanilla bean, and a whisper of cinnamon.

🎯 On the Palate:
Silky and full-bodied, with layered flavours of ripe stone fruit, citrus marmalade, sweet spice, and roasted nuts. Balanced by vibrant acidity, the finish is endless—luxurious yet focused.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
A decadent match with lobster in butter sauce, foie gras, roasted duck with orange glaze, or a soft triple-cream cheese.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Built to evolve beautifully over 10+ years, gaining complexity, richness, and honeyed elegance with time.

💎 Why You’ll Love It:
This is Chenin at its most sophisticated—seductive, cerebral, and unforgettable. A collector’s white that rivals fine Burgundy.
