About this wine

Tokara Directors Reserve is a Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend from grapes grown on the highest slopes of Tokara’s Stellenbosch property.  The nose shows stunning complexity with fruit notes of ripe quince, passion fruit all intermingled with hints of lemon grass, toasted almonds and freshly baked brioche. The wine enters the palate full and rich reminiscent of the aromas on the nose. The wine finishes with amazing clarity and depth with a slight grip just lingering.

Ageing potential: This wine drinks exceptionally well now but will continue to develop and improve till 2026.

Food pairing: Best served with foods such as grilled fish, roasted Quail and Duck.

The variety has classic zingy freshness, citrus notes and in the case of Marlborough in particular, gooseberry aromatics and flavours. Very pure, it can often be opulent yet also the opposite, with taut mineral notes. A classic, modern varietal with huge popularity, usually unoaked, there are an increasing number of food-focused expressions with a little barrel maturation adding texture and lift."
