Farm
The Tokara wine estate consists of various farms (120ha in total) with top sites in the best wine-growing regions around the Cape of Good Hope. The core of the company and the winery’s location is the estate in Stellenbosch. In 2002, owner G.T. Ferrera built an outstanding winery with the finest cellar technology, architecture, and stylish furnishings that make it an exceptional design piece.
Winemaker
Stuart Botha (ex Eagle’s Nest) took over from Miles Mossop in 2017. He had been with Tokara since the beginning in 2000. He learned his trade at the University of Stellenbosch. After his studies, he gained experience in Australia, France, Italy and California.
Wine style
At Tokara, mainly top wines with a classic, elegant structure are vinified under the Tokara label. The Tokara wines almost consistently receive excellent ratings from John Platter. Tokara’s two-label, Zondernaam wines are classic varietal wines, elegant in style, finely balanced with beautiful fruit expression.
