Product information "Tokara Director's Reserve Red 2021"
The Tokara Director's Reserve Red is a stunningly deep colour with a garnet red core and ruby rim in the glass. This award-winning wine pampers the nose with seductive aromas of red and black fruits and a beguiling touch of juicy cranberries, baking spice and graphite. On the palate, the connoisseur is presented with a captivating clarity with delicious nuances of dark cherries, ripe blackberries and black plums. Subtle hints of fine spices in the background join this exciting aroma and end in a pleasantly dry finish with fine and firm tannin.

The grapes were destemmed and carefully checked for quality, berry by berry, selected for the further production process and directly squeezed into stainless steel tanks and wooden fermentation vats. A five-day cold swelling phase followed before spontaneous fermentation began. "Spontaneous" means that no commercial yeasts were used to start the fermentation. Only the "wild" yeast naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit started the fermentation process. During the fermentation phase, the cap was submerged twice a day to ensure maximum extraction. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation took place. The different wines were matured for 22 months in French barriques, 54% of which were new wood and the remaining part was previously felled. After the ageing process was completed, the wines were blended, slightly refined and bottled unfiltered.
