History • The TOKARA farm was purchased in 1994 by GT Ferreira. Classic varietals were planted on the 400m above sea-level slopes. • Tokara’s wines are sourced from their own vineyards in Stellenbosch, Walker Bary and Elgin. • The estate values are to create a balance between the vegetative and reproductive qualities of the vine, which is beneficial to both the environment and the quality of the estate’s product. Vineyards & Style • Balance, texture, elegance and the ability to age are distinctive traits of the TOKARA Premium range of wines, made from top quality grapes • The TOKARA “home farm” is rested on the Simonsberg side of the Banghoek Valley, at elevations of between 350m and 550m • Soil profiles are of weathered sandstone and decomposed granite, the combination lending struc ture, perfume and longevity to our wines.
