Tokara Sauvignon Blanc 2025
R140,00
The wine has a light straw colour with a brilliant pale green edge that catches the light.
There is an appealing mix of lemon sorbet, sweet guava skin and Cape gooseberry on the nose. The wine enters the palate with concentrated flavours, consistent with the aromatics. The finish is refreshing and crisp with a slight oyster shell salinity derived from the grape’s provenance on cool, maritime sites.

Specifications
In the cellar
The grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and pumped via a mash cooler directly into our inert press. Free-run and press juices are separated and settled overnight before being racked off the heavy lees and inoculated for fermentation with selected wine yeasts. Fermentation is controlled at 18 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation the wine is blended, stabilised and then bottled in June 2025.
In the vineyard
The vineyards crop between 6 and 10 t/ha and the grapes are harvested at various degrees of ripeness from 21 to 23 degrees balling, depending on acid, pH, fruit intensity and flavour profile. All grapes are hand harvested.
