Information about "Ken Forrester Three Halves 2021"
The Ken Forrester Three Halves stands as an intriguing Rhône-style blend featuring Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Shiraz. Dominated by Mourvèdre's enchanting earthiness, this wine is complemented by Grenache's lively fruitiness and the spicy warmth of Shiraz. Renowned winemaker Ken Forrester is dedicated to producing remarkable Mediterranean-style blends, using the finest Cape grapes. This blend exemplifies a complex interplay where the three varietals create a whole greater than their individual contributions.
The grapes for the Ken Forrester Three Halves were hand-picked with utmost care, selecting only the ripest berries. Upon arrival at the cellar, the fruit underwent a cold soak phase. The wine matured for 18 months in second-fill French oak barrels.
