Tokara Director’s Reserve White 2021
R400.00
This is a blend of 70% Sauvignon blanc and 30% Semillon. It was made from grapes grown on the highest slopes of Tokara’s Stellenbosch property.
An intense straw colour with flecks of green. Notes of ripe quince, passionfruit and baked apples combine with hints of lemongrass, toasted almonds and brioche to offer a bouquet of aromatic complexity. The palate is rich and full and echoes the notes found in the multifaceted aroma, finishing with length and amazing clarity.

Description
The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed and pressed immediately in Tokara’s inert press. The press juice and free run juice were kept separate and settled overnight, before the clean juice was racked off. Only the free run juice from the best blocks is used in this wine. The juice was then inoculated and sent to 400L barrels for fermentation. All the barrels used were French oak of which 25 % was new. After fermentation the barrels were topped and left on the lees for 9 months with regular lees stirring. The wine was blended in November, stabilised, filtered and bottled soon after. The wine spent a total of 9 months in barrel.
10,105 bottles were produced.
