About this wine

Tokara Directors Reserve Red is a Bordeaux varietal blend with a stunning depth of colour with an intense garnet centre and a ruby rim. The nose showcases complex aromas of ripe red and black berry fruits with hints of creamy cassis, cedar wood and toasted oak. The wine enters the palate with incredible purity and focus. Flavours are those of dark cherry, blackberries and ripe plum skin. Sumptuous and full there is a pleasant hint of spice on the mid-palate which leads to fine, firm tannins on the finish.

The 2019 vintage is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 9% Merlot and 6% Cabernet-Franc. The grapes originated from Tokara’s premium vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain outside of Stellenbosch.

Food pairing: Grilled ribeye steak served with Béarnaise sauce, and potato Dauphinoise.

Alcohol: 14% ABV
