Why You'll Love It
Properly satisfying Chardonnay with lively citrus and just the right amount of barrel-derived richness. Lemon, gentle spice and a touch of brioche meet a smooth palate and crisp mineral finish. Particularly good with roast chicken or fish dressed with lemon butter.
About The Producer
Tokara sits on the Helshoogte Pass above Stellenbosch, where vineyards look across the Banghoek Valley towards False Bay. Founded by GT Ferreira in the 1990s, the estate takes its name from his children Thomas and Kara and has become one of South Africa's leading modern wine properties. Its vineyards occupy slopes with decomposed granite and sandstone soils, at elevations that help preserve freshness through the Cape's warm growing season. The team selects and vinifies parcels separately before blending, giving particular attention to precision, texture and ageing potential. Tokara's Director's Reserve White has become a benchmark Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon blend, demonstrating that generous Cape fruit can sit alongside fine oak handling and real mineral definition.
Winemaking Information
Tokara Chardonnay 2022 is 100% Chardonnay from the estate's Stellenbosch property and carefully selected neighbouring vineyards. Grapes were destemmed, pressed and settled overnight before 100% barrel fermentation in 228-litre French oak, of which 7% was new. The wine aged for eight months on lees with regular stirring; approximately 45% completed malolactic fermentation. It was bottled in October 2022. The vintage-specific specification confirms 13.5% ABV and 1.9 g/L residual sugar.
