A Wine Worth the Wait

On a hilltop overlooking the Stellenbosch Winelands sits the famed Tokara wine estate, home to exceptional vintages that have garnered recognition both locally and internationally. Tokara’s approach to winemaking is focused on consistent quality, which is never compromised on. This dedication is tasted in the Tokara Director’s Reserve Red 2013. Upon pouring this wine, the rich ruby hue immediately causes one’s mouth to water and, at the first whiff, a seductive perfume of rooibos greets the nose. The texture matches the colour of the wine in its smoothness, and strong flavours of dark berries flow over the tongue, after which a subtle spice can be enjoyed on the finish. While the Tokara Director’s Reserve Red 2013 is a fantastic accompaniment to a meal of fillet steak with a rich sauce this year, leaving this wine to mature further until 2026 will result in an even more memorable taste experience.
