Tokara Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Deep ruby-purple. Bright nose of blackcurrant, cassis, dark plum and graphite with a lift of crushed mint, cedar and pencil shavings from the oak. Medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained, gently grippy tannins, a savoury core and a long, mineral-edged finish. Excellent with roast lamb, beef ribs, mature cheddar or a Sunday roast.

The wine has stunning depth of colour with an intense garnet centre and a ruby rim. The nose showcases complex aromas of dried tobacco leaf, subtle violet flower, dried currants, baking spice and graphite. The wine enters the palate with incredible purity and
focus. Flavours are those of dark cherries, blackberries and ripe plum skin. Sumptuous and full there is a hint of spice on the mid-palate which leads to fine yet dense tannins and a lengthy finish.
This wine is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. The grapes originated from TOKARA’s premium vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain outside of Stellenbosch.
Food pairing: Grilled ribeye steak served with Béarnaise sauce, and potato Dauphinoise.
