Director's Reserve White - Tokara

Director's Reserve White - TokaraTokara's Director's Reserve White is a fascinating white wine blend of Sauvignon Blanc (71%) and Semillon (29%). In the glass, this South African white wine shows a radiant light yellow with golden reflections. The bouquet is marked by complex aromas: noble plum (Reineclaude) also meets passion fruit with notes of toasted almonds. The palate is indulged by a potpourri of ripe, summer fruits. The character is wonderfully fresh as well as clear and is perfectly rounded off by the wood aging.
