Tokara Wines

Stellenbosch The TOKARA property was acquired by GT and Anne-Marie Ferreira in 1994 and is situated on the Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. The property consists of various sections of older estate’s, each with its own fascinating history - the oldest part of the estate situated on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain was once part of the first established farms in South Africa with records dating back to 1685. The dramatic Simonsberg mountain is a breathtaking backdrop to the architecturally award winning winery and on a clear day it is possible to see right across False Bay to Table Mountain whilst enjoying a fine meal at the award winning TOKARA restaurant. Nothing is done at TOKARA without an eye to the ultimate, highest possible quality of the wine and to this end it was only in 2005 that the TOKARA range was released to the eagerly awaiting wine-drinking world. Although relatively youthful with only the second vintages released in 2006, TOKARA has won many plaudits, medals, trophies and, importantly, recognition from the trade and consumers to put it firmly among the best that the South African Cape has to offer. Viticulturalist Aidan Morton uses a combination of traditional methods and cutting edge analysis to ensure pristine fruit quality is achieved in the vineyards. This includes: high density planting, limited yields and green harvesting - supported by NDVI vineyard analysis, which TOKARA pioneered in South Africa. NDVI uses visible and infra-red light emissions, captured in a small two-man aircraft, to describe colour index variances throughout the vineyard, enabling the grapes to picked, by hand, according to optimum ripeness by vine and not by row or block!
