The nose showcases complex aromas of black cherry, subtle cocoa, dried currants, tobacco leaf and graphite. The wine enters the palate with incredible purity and focus, with flavours of dark cherries, blackberries and plum skin. Sumptuous and full there is a hint of tension on the mid-palate which leads to fine dense tannins and a lengthy finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorlds Best Sommelier Selection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e95 Points | Tim Atkin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:  \u003c\/strong\u003eDrink now to 2030\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePerfect with grilled ribeye steak, roast lamb or beef, served with Béarnaise sauce, and potato Dauphinoise\u003c\/span\u003e. \u003cspan\u003e| 🌡️ Serve at a temperature between \u003cstrong\u003e16 and 18ºC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTORY BEHIND THE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicked during cool evenings, fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks was utilised to retain the fresh varietal aromatics with 10% fermented with indigenous yeast. After fermentation, the wine underwent an extended period of lees contact, adding texture and length to the wine. The result is a hand-crafted wine combining the bright fresh fruit characters with an underlying minerality and fine structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/stellenbosch\"\u003eBrowse our Stellenbosch Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tokara Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56279299293528,"sku":"114850","price":46.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/tokara-directors-reserve-2021-stellenbosh-whelehans-wines-dublin-wineshop.jpg?v=1764171109","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/2021-tokara-directors-reserve-red","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
