PRESENTATION : An exceptional occasion deserves an<br />
exceptional wine and prestigious family-owned<br />
Stellenbosch estate Tokara is celebrating the 50 th<br />
anniversary of Cap Classique with an ultra-stylish new<br />
2013 vintage. The consummate Blanc de Blancs was<br />
crafted entirely from Tokara’s outstanding cool climate<br />
Chardonnay vineyard in Elgin. Its extraordinary depth<br />
of flavour, elegance and complexity stem from barrel<br />
maturation of the base wine for eight months, then seven<br />
years on the lees in the bottle to develop richness and<br />
finesse. An incredibly fine, consistent mousse lifted by<br />
aromas of lightly toasted almonds, lemon preserve and<br />
a trace of fresh green apple with freshly baked gougère<br />
on the palate set it apart. As does its distinctive bottle,<br />
lending gravitas and sophistication, and its exquisite gift<br />
packaging that completes the narrative.<br />
