Tokara

Das Weingut Tokara umfasst insgesamt drei Weinbaugebiete. In Stellenbosch befindet sich das erste Gut von Tokara. Hier begann die Erfolgsgeschichte des Weingutes auf den südlichen Hängen des Simonsberg. Das Gut liegt am Helshoogte Pass, nur ca. fünf Kilometer von der Stadt Stellenbosch entfernt, dem Zentrum des südafrikanischen Weinanbaus. Das Weingut bietet einen spektakulären Blick über die False Bay, Stellenbosch und den ganzen Weg bis zum Tafelberg.

Im Distrikt Elgin liegt das zweite Anbaugebiet: Highlands. Auf dem Kogelberg Mountain, mehr als 400 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel, reift vor allem Sauvignon Blanc zu einer hervorragenden Qualität heran.

Im Hemel-en-Arde-Tal, nahe dem malerischen Küstenort Hermanus schließlich befindet sich Tokaras Anbaugebiet Siberia, gelegen auf den kühlen südlichen Hängen des Babylonstoren Mountain, knapp 300 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel.

Alle drei Anbaugebiete sind geprägt von einem kühlen Klima sowie sandigen Lehmböden und tiefroten, fruchtbaren Böden. Diese außergewöhnlichen Bedingungen geben Tokara die Möglichkeit, unverwechselbare, charaktervolle Weine zu kreieren.

Geleitet wird Tokara von Richard Carstens, dem die Winemaker Meilen Mossop sowie Aidan Morton zur Seite stehen.

Product recommendation

Thelema Sauvignon Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc from the prestigious South African winery Thelema is a prime example of the style of the Cape region: clear, aromatic, mineral and with remarkable freshness. Thelema has deliberately not aged this Sauvignon Blanc in wood. The fruitiness of the white wine should come into its own. You can look forward to a wonderfully refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of grapefruit and melon on the nose. Balanced, light and invigorating on the palate.Enjoy Thelema Sauvignon Blanc as an aperitif or with salads, oysters, scallops or chicken. A remarkable dry wine from the renowned winery, which only uses grapes from its own vineyards.

Delaire Graff Coastal Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc
This Sauvignon Blanc is a blend consisting of grapes that come from the wine-growing regions of Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Darling and Franschhoek. This white wine from South Africa has a wonderfully enticing bouquet offering notes of tropical fruit, underpinned by nuances of black currants and gooseberries. On the palate, the Declaire Graff Coastal Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc is balanced and beautifully multi-layered. This cuvée also includes small percentages of Semillon which was aged in French wooden casks, giving this assemblage its complexity. The Sauvignon Blanc, wonderfully uniting all the advantages of its cultivation areas, has a fresh, crisp acidity and a long finish. South Africa’s wine expert John Platter awards this white wine 4.5 out of 5 possible stars.

Warwick Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc
The Warwick Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine aged in stainless steel tanks. The grapes come from two different plots located on the heights of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch. One was planted in 1985, the other in 2003. The diverse harvest adds complexity, different flavors and structure to the wine. The grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning and immediately transported to the cellar. Before pressing, the mash remains on the skins for 6-12 hours. Then the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc is fermented cold in stainless steel tanks. The 100 days of aging on the fine lees gives the Sauvignon melt.Produced in limited quantities, the Warwick Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc displays typical aromas of elderflower, nettle, passion fruit and lime. Lively and zesty on the palate with an abundance of passion fruit and lemon with a fresh lingering acidity.The name is a tribute to "Professor Black", a researcher who grew South Africa's first peaches on Simonsberg.Enjoy this wonderful wine simply solo or serve it with fresh oysters, salad with goat cheese or grilled trout.

Hamilton Russell Chardonnay
The prestigious Hamilton Russell Vineyards estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley stands for precise craftsmanship and terroir-driven elegance.This Chardonnay grows on weak, stony, clay and iron-rich soils, which give the wine a distinct minerality, clear structure and remarkable depth.

This careful barrel treatment gives the wine fine vanilla and subtle nutty notes without overpowering the freshness and expression of the fruit.In the glass, the wine has a bright color and a firm, elegant body. The nose delights with clear, vibrant aromas of pear and lime, accompanied by subtle spice and fine mineral nuances. An elegant, structured wine unfolds on the palate, enlivened by its fresh, natural acidity. The texture is soft yet intense, and the long, dry finish underlines the fine minerality and lively fruitiness - a wine with a strong expression of origin and character.This Chardonnay unfolds its full potential with grilled or roasted poultry, white meat dishes, fine fish or creamy pasta dishes. Serve at 10-12 °C to enjoy its freshness, fruitiness and minerality to the full.
