The 2009 edition of Platter’s South African Wines was released in Stellenbosch today along with the five star wines. There were a record 33 five star wines this year – a small fraction of the some 6400 wines sampled by 15 tasters over a mere few months by 15 tasters (with 60 new wineries and brands this year, and about 400 additional wines).
The only Chenin Blanc was the excellent Ken Forrester The FMC 2006, which is aged and fermented in wood.
