“My Afrikaans is nie net vir selfverdediging nie.” / “My Afrikaans isn’t just for self defence.” - Ken Forrester.
Ken Forrester learned Afrikaans in the army. He had to. With a shock of white hair, a pride of dogs shadowing him, and a slight limp from a recent mountain biking accident, he powers through despite the discomfort. He meets Kleinjan, Michael, and me one morning in summer, in front of the Ken Forrester Vineyards tasting room, on the 50ha family farm. “The biggest piece of land we couldn’t afford.” There’s a wine bottle hanging in front of the tasting room, a board behind it stating the obvious: Bottle is wet - Rain; Bottle is dry - Not raining; Bottle is gone - Tornado. Encapsulating the spirit of the place.
