great wine just a touch too much grapefruit at the end. all the flavours (melon, passion fruit, pineapple, citrus, grapefruit) flow that's what makes this so nice. oh yes one to be savoured. 9.5/10

When it's on offer this is best chenin per £ out there from a SA great Ken Forrester. Perfect if your guests don't like the bone dry whites I would normally buy.

I grew to appreciate wines from the Ken Forrester Vineyards a number of years ago following a recommendation from a friend. Initially I was nervous of the "Tesco" name being added as if a new own brand was being created which would be cheaper but of slightly lower quality than a Ken Forrester original. Not so, the crisp but slightly fruity pleasant, but distinctive taste is immediately recognisable, and it has become a firm family friend.

This is our favourite white wine, delicious served well chilled, very moreish. Tried it because we couldn't get a Zalze that had been recommended, but would have this every time.

I cannot claim to be a wine connoiseur. So I'm not able to discuss the bouquet or the colour etc. I tend to stick to South African white wines and this is without doubt my favourite wine. It's smoothe, tasty and goes down way too easily. All I can say is it's an enjoyable drink.
A superb wine!

This is by far my favourite wine. I am not much of a connoisseur but this is clean, crisp and easy drinking. I am usually a sauvignon blanc drinker but would chose this every time given the choice!
