From hand-harvest to bottle, this Tokara Director’s Reserve Red reflects uncompromising craft. Grapes from Simonsberg’s finest slopes were sorted, cold-soaked, and naturally fermented in stainless steel and foudre. Gentle extraction preserved elegance, while 22 months in French oak deepened structure and complexity. Bottled unfiltered, it captures Stellenbosch terroir with purity and age-worthy finesse.

The Tokara farm was purchased in 1994 by GT Ferreira for residential purposes, but it wasn’t long before the great potential for planting vineyards was recognized and explored. Classic varietals were planted on the 400m above sea-level slopes. The cool air and low temperatures contribute to the excellent quality of Tokara Wines.
Tokara is a picture perfect destination which offers visitors a unique combination of award-winning wines, brandy and olive oils, a gallery of fine art, a restaurant featuring one of South Africa’s leading chefs as well as a delicatessen. The 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.
