Name: Tokara Reserve Collection Walker Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Brand: Tokara Reserve Collection
SKU: 21116

A perfumed nose with concentrated elements of elderflower, jasmine and talcum. Hints of fresh peas and delicate asparagus. This wine has elegance thanks to the crisp acidity that allows for the accentuation of the flint and mineral characteristics. The expected herbal characteristics of the Sauvignon Blanc variety are revealed once the wine has spent a short while in the glass and add to the complexity and the overall enjoyment.
