About this Item

Directors Reserve Red, 2010
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

On the crest of the Helshoogte Pass is the picturesque wine farm of Tokara owned by ex-banker GT Ferreira. Tokara’s first vines were planted in 1998 with a state-of-the-art winery erected shortly thereafter. 20 vintages later, Tokara is one of South Africa’s premiere wine producers.

This widely revered flagship red is a Cape Bordeaux Red Blend which was made by long-serving winemaker, Miles Mossop.

Critics Ratings

‘Cab with dollops petit verdot, merlot & malbec in 2010, with oak more prominent & vintage giving slightly less harmony & generosity than in superbly balanced 2009, though lots of power. Firm, almost severe tannins should soften with few years in bottle.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (2014)
