Tokar Estate, Pinot Noir, 2020

ABOUT THE WINE. Since 1995, when Mr. and Mrs. Tokar stumbled across the location that would become the estate, their small boutique winery has been a pioneer of the Yarra Valley ‘Golden Mile’ of high-quality, family-owned producers. The small boutique estate practices sustainable farming on a beautiful vineyard which was originally intended to be little more than a hobby! Now, with the second generation working alongside them, the Tokar’s attention on detail both in the vineyards and in the cellar is showing results, with numerous inter-national accolades and awards.. TASTING NOTES. Bright red core with a light crimson hue. Fragrant ripe red cherry and strawberry aromas stream out of the glass followed by a mix of dried herbs, forest floor and light spicy cedar. Delicious ripe cherry and strawberry flavours have a juicy supple feel and savoury edge. Nice bright finish with velvet like tannins and a moreish ripe red berry aftertaste.. FOOD PAIRING. An excellent accompaniment to a roast duck dish, complementing the natural fattiness of the duck. Also great with hard cheeses, such as Manchego and Comte.
