Description

A luminous pale straw color hints at the elegance within. On the nose, this refined Stellenbosch white blend reveals layered aromas of preserved quince, pink grapefruit, and cantaloupe, enriched by undertones of toasted brioche. The palate follows with richness and clarity, delivering a full-bodied mouthfeel, zesty persistence, and finely integrated acidity.

Crafted for complexity and age-worthiness, it’s drinking beautifully now but will reward careful cellaring. Perfectly paired with saffron-infused seafood or grilled white fish, this white blend is a standout example of Tokara’s signature precision and balance.

Ratings/Accolades:
Tim Atkin's Wine Of The Year 2025
Crafted from hand-picked Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grown on Tokara’s highest slopes, this wine is all about precision and elevation. Only the finest free-run juice was fermented in 400L French oak barrels (37% new), followed by 9 months on the lees with regular stirring to build complexity. Aged for 10 months in total, this blend delivers clarity, texture, and vibrant energy in every glass.

Winemaker: Stuart Botha
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.
