Tokara White 2006

Name: Tokara White 2006
Brand: Tokara
SKU: 15522

A brilliant colour with a deep golden green sheen. A deeply satisfying nose with elements of spice and fruit. Candied stem ginger and tropical fruit compliment the green pineapple and fresh brioche characters and add gravity to the overall bouquet. This wine presents itself as both concentrated and elegant. The initially tight structure softens in the glass to reveal nuances of fig and granadilla with a touch of wild vanilla. The wine is rich without being cloying and has an intense and lingering finish dominated by dried tropical fruits.
