Winemaker
TOKARA Wines | Olive Oil
Stuart Botha is the winemaker at the prestigious Stellenbosch wine estate Tokara.

Winemaker Stuart Botha joined the team at Tokara in 2017 after having made award-winning wines in Constantia since 2007.

Allowing the grapes to express their terroir is the crux of his winemaking philosophy and is clearly evident in his maiden Tokara Sauvignon Blanc 2018.

A blend of fruit from prime Tokara vineyards in Stellenbosch and Elgin, this vibrant wine represents an intriguing spectrum of the Sauvignon Blanc flavour profile. Green melon, Granny Smith apple and subtle lemongrass, typical of the cooler Elgin site, meld seamlessly with tropical granadilla notes, more reminiscent of Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc.
