Bang on.
Including a 13% portion fermented and matured for five months in old, larger format barrels, the Sauvignon Blanc from Tokara’s Elgin is very well realised. The nose shows notes of blossom, fynbos, lime and grapefruit while the palate is marked by lovely fruit weight, the acidity nicely coated and the finish gently dry. Nothing too puckering or austere about it. Price: R140 a bottle.
CE’s rating: 93/100.
