Tasting Note

The wine displays a brilliant pale straw colour. Aromas of yellow lemon skin and lime blossom interplay with lightly toasted brioche characters, subtle cinnamon and vanilla. The entry on the palate is vibrant with fresh sweet lime, roasted lemon, appealing chalkiness and the lightest note of ginger. The palate has a beautiful silky texture - testament to it being barrel aged on the lees – and a refreshingly dry finish.

About the Winery

Tokara

Tokara is a major player in the south African scene and is owned by GT Ferreira. He founded a financial company, RCI which then merged with rand merchant back in 1985. GT Ferreira got a property in Simons Berg Mountain in 1992, where Gyles Webb, his neighbour, advised him to plant some vines on his property. This is where Tokara was bone. In 1998, the first vines were planted on the property, and the first wines were introduced in 2001 under the Zondernaam label. This went on until the best quality was achieved to produce Tokara wines. The first Tokara wine was made in 2005.
