Tokara Reserve Collection Elgin Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R160
'Stuart Botha sources this engagingly perfumed Sauvignon Blanc from the same Elgin farm that supplies Tokara's MCC. Stony and flinty, with subtle struck match reduction, oyster shell and pink grapefruit flavours and good texture from five months on lees. 2022-26' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 92/100
'Loads of perfume, almost exotic with notes of litchi and pressed rose. The hints of green fig and ripe winter melon have a sea breeze and fynbos edge to them, leading to a saline palate with hints of fennel, black currant and an exceptionally long and fragrant finish. A masterful match with seared scallop, kapokbos, apricot and browned butter. Best from 2025 onwards.' – James Pietersen (Jan 2022)
'The wine displays a stunning light straw colour with a brilliant green edge. The nose opens with aromas of green apple and lime juice subtly interplayed with Caped Gooseberry and a subtle wisp of blackcurrant leaf. There is an amazing freshness as the wine enters the palate, with zesty green apple flavours leading to a textured mid-palate and a lingering saline finish.' – Winemaker
