The wine displays a stunning light straw color with a brilliant green edge. The nose opens with aromas of Passion Fruit, Caped Gooseberry, lemongrass and a signature wisp of Blackcurrant leaf. There is an amazing freshness as the wine enters the palate, with flavors aligning with the aromas and leading to a textured mid-palate and a lingering saline finish.
Crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown on our cool-climate Elgin Highlands farm, only the best free-run juice from select vineyard blocks makes it into this Sauvignon Blanc. After gentle whole-bunch pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel, the wine rests on fine lees for nine months—building texture, elegance, and purity true to Tokara’s terroir-driven style.

South African Tokara winery, on the R310 outside Stellenbosch, is nestled among vineyards and olive groves on the crest of the Helshoogte Pass with sweeping views across False Bay and all the way to Table Mountain. With elevations of between 350m and 550m, soil profiles are of weathered sandstone and decomposed granite - the combination lending structure, perfume and longevity to their wines.
