This wine displays a vibrant straw colour. Aromas of lemon curd, limeskin, oatmeal and toasted almonds emanate from the glass. The wine enters the palate with bold, ripe yellow citrus flavours leading to a creamy mid-palate. There is a continuous saline focus and feeling of freshness throughout that suggests this wine will age beautifully for at least a decade.

Best served with grilled fish - roasted white meats or creamy white cheese.

in the vineyard : This 100% Chardonnay is made from grapes grown on Tokara’s Stellenbosch farm on the slopes of the Simonsberg.

in the cellar : Only the free run juice from the best blocks is used for the Reserve Collection Chardonnay. The juice from the de-stemmed batches was racked and run off to barrel for fermentation with selected yeast. After fermentation the wine was topped and left on the lees with regular lees stirring for 9 months. 50% of the barrels were allowed to complete malolactic fermentation. The barrels were all tight grain French oak 228 litre of which 42% were new the rest were 2nd and 3rd fill barrels.
