When the cooler weather begins to waft in (like it is in Joburg right now!), it’s time to switch from crisp summer quaffers to a more textured autumn wine.
Fermented and aged in predominantly older oak barrels, Tokara Chardonnay 2018 is refreshing and pleasantly dry with mouth-filling creaminess.
“Aromas of ripe quince and orange blossom spring from your glass, complemented by warming whiffs of brioche and almonds. The palate comes alive with fresh clementine, grapefruit and hints of ginger spice, melding seamlessly with the creamy, rounded texture. The Chardonnay shows immense complexity from the discreet use of oak,” says winemaker Stuart Botha.
The wine is crafted from Tokara’s cool-climate Elgin vineyards and vines growing in ancient decomposed granitic soils on the foothills of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch. It’s a perfect taste partner with fish and chicken, and a winner as an aperitif.
Tokara Chardonnay 2018 has a cellar door price of R110 per bottle. Purchase online HERE for delivery after the lockdown restrictions have been lifted.
