TOKARA TO THE TABLE
With harvest time well underway, it’s time to enjoy the last throes of summer with a top tier white wine. Tokara’s acclaimed Reserve Collection Chardonnay ticks all the right boxes when only the best will do.
A wine of restrained power and finesse, Tokara Reserve Collection Chardonnay 2019 was crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown on the family-owned Stellenbosch wine estate by accomplished winemaker Stuart Botha.
The 2019 vintage was one of five Top 10 wines that propelled Tokara to Winery of the Year in the Prescient Top 20 Wines of South Africa 2020. The wine also has the stamp of approval from British Master of Wine Tim Atkin with 93 points out of 100: “This is a brilliant first release from Stuart Botha: mealy, taut and well balanced,” Atkin notes in his highly respected South Africa 2020 Special Report.
The 2019 vintage has all the appeal of a vibrant wine with its fresh citrus character, yet comforts with a layered, creamy texture that stands up perfectly to the umami and creaminess of the dish.
Tokara Reserve Collection Chardonnay 2019 is available at a cellar door price of R230 per bottle. Pop in at the Tokara tasting lounge or buy it online at www.tokara.com.
