2011 Director's Reserve White
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

On the crest of the Helshoogte Pass is the picturesque wine farm of Tokara owned by ex-banker GT Ferreira. Tokara’s first vines were planted in 1998 with a state-of-the-art winery erected shortly thereafter. Tokara has been consistently recognised as one of South Africa's top wineries.

On the crest of the Helshoogte Pass is the picturesque wine farm of Tokara owned by ex-banker GT Ferreira. Tokara’s first vines were planted in 1998 and 20 vintages later, Tokara is one of South Africa’s premiere wine producers. This Cape Bordeaux White Blend, made by long-serving winemaker Miles Mossop, is impressively age-worthy, developing wonderful nutty complexity alongside the fruit and herbs.

Critics Ratings

“An effortlessly complex blend of mostly Sauvignon Blanc with 29% Semillon from winemaker Miles Mossop, this consistently ranks among the Cape’s top Bordeaux-style whites. Smoky and elegant, with hints of fresh herbs, wax, grapefruit and lemon grass and stylish oak integration.” - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2013, 95/100
