Tokara Director's Reserve White 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R340
‘Back on form after a slight dip in 2019, this is a youthful, age-worthy pairing of Sauvignon Blanc and 28% Semillon that's fermented in 35% new French oak. Leesy, toasty and complex, with notes of green beans, grapefruit and cinnamon and nutmeg spices. 2023-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100
‘Fermented and matured for nine months in 400-litre barrels, 25% new. Lime, lemon, peach, blackcurrant, herbs and a hint of reduction on the nose while the palate shows great fruit concentration and driving acidity, lightly grippy in texture, the finish long and savoury. A wine of refinement which is not to say underdone or overly delicate.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
