Description
A beautifully distinctive Syrah, this single-vineyard wine is a limited edition release of just over 6000 bottles. Grow on steep, rocky slopes, perfect for growing expressive Syrah grapes, the Reserve Syrah displays a dark plum color in the glass with a cherry edge.
It showcases an enticing bouquet of figs, violets, liquorice, and hints of cigar box. The palate offers a seamless blend of rich dark fruit and subtle red pepper nuances, complemented by a velvety finish. Pairs beautifully with rosemary-seasoned grilled lamb or stands elegantly on its own. Enjoy now or let develop in your cellar for up to 10 years.

The Tokara farm was purchased in 1994 by GT Ferreira for residential purposes, but it wasn’t long before the great potential for planting vineyards was recognized and explored. Classic varietals were planted on the 400m above sea-level slopes. The cool air and low temperatures contribute to the excellent quality of Tokara Wines.
Tokara is a picture perfect destination which offers visitors a unique combination of award-winning wines, brandy and olive oils, a gallery of fine art, a restaurant featuring one of South Africa’s leading chefs as well as a delicatessen. The winery, on the R310 outside Stellenbosch, is nestled among vineyards and olive groves on the crest of the Helshoogte Pass with sweeping views across False Bay and all the way to Table Mountain.
