Join the Sommelier Hour session happening every Wednesday at The Gourmet Pantry. In this edition, Master Sommelier and Director of Beverage Mathias Camilleri will uncork The Gypsy 2017 from Ken Forrester Wines – one of South Africa's leading winemakers.

About The Gypsy 2017
The Gypsy 2017 is a masterful blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, sourced from exclusive single-vineyard parcels. Aged for three years in barrel, this bold, full-bodied wine boasts rich dark fruit flavors, layered with spices and vibrant energy.

About Ken Forrester Wines
Known as the King of Chenin Blanc, Ken Forrester is one of South Africa’s most celebrated winemakers. His journey began in 1993 on the scenic slopes of Stellenbosch's Helderberg Mountain, where he and his wife revived an abandoned vineyard. Since then, Forrester has expanded his portfolio to include varietals like Grenache, Syrah, and Rhône-style blends. Yet, Chenin Blanc remains the soul of his winery, embodying his dedication to quality and tradition.
