Tokara Sauvignon Blanc

This wine displays a light straw colour with hints of lime green on the rim. The nose has distinct aromas of greengage, guavas and quince. With underlying greener notes such as asparagus and fresh grass.
The palate is crisp fresh and bracing with flavours that mirror the nose. This wine is mouth filling with an apple texture, a slight grip on the finish and a lingering crisp aftertaste.
Food pairing: This wine is best drunk cold on a hot summer’s day on its own or it can be served with grilled chicken and fish, fresh oysters or even a light prawn curry.

Tokara

Das Weingut Tokara umfasst insgesamt drei Weinbaugebiete. In Stellenbosch befindet sich das erste Gut von Tokara. Hier begann die Erfolgsgeschichte des Weingutes auf den südlichen Hängen des Simonsberg. Das Gut liegt am Helshoogte Pass, nur ca. fünf Kilometer von der Stadt Stellenbosch entfernt, dem Zentrum des südafrikanischen Weinanbaus. Das Weingut bietet einen spektakulären Blick über die False Bay, Stellenbosch und den ganzen Weg bis zum Tafelberg.

Im Distrikt Elgin liegt das zweite Anbaugebiet: Highlands. Auf dem Kogelberg Mountain, mehr als 400 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel, reift vor allem Sauvignon Blanc zu einer hervorragenden Qualität heran.

Im Hemel-en-Arde-Tal, nahe dem malerischen Küstenort Hermanus schließlich befindet sich Tokaras Anbaugebiet Siberia, gelegen auf den kühlen südlichen Hängen des Babylonstoren Mountain, knapp 300 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel.

Alle drei Anbaugebiete sind geprägt von einem kühlen Klima sowie sandigen Lehmböden und tiefroten, fruchtbaren Böden. Diese außergewöhnlichen Bedingungen geben Tokara die Möglichkeit, unverwechselbare, charaktervolle Weine zu kreieren.

Geleitet wird Tokara von Richard Carstens, dem die Winemaker Meilen Mossop sowie Aidan Morton zur Seite stehen.
