TOKARA Reserve Collection Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2022

TASTING NOTES This wine displays a vibrant light straw colour. Aromas of lemon curd, limeskin, oatmeal and toasted almond 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. Food pairing: Best served with grilled fish - roasted white meats or creamy white cheese.

Only free run juice from the best blocks is used for the Reserve Collection chardonnay. The juice from the de-stemmed batches was then racked and run off the barrel fro fermentation with selected yeast. After fermentation the wine was topped and left on the lees with regular lees stirring for 11 months. The barrels were all grain French oak 228 L barrels of which 34% were new the rest were older barrels. 20 526 bottles were produced.
