Much to like about the Fairydust Field Blend 2023 from Ken Forrester. The packaging won gold at this year’s Label Design Awards and what’s inside the bottle is pretty smart, too.
From a Piekenierskloof vineyard planted in the early 1960s consisting of Chenin Blanc and Palamino, the nose shows lime, cut apple and fynbos while the palate is dense, broad and thick textured despite a moderate alcohol of 13%. Acidity, meanwhile, seems moderate, the finish gently savoury, perhaps slightly salty. A wine with plenty of interest.
CE’s rating: 92/100.
