Thokozani
The wines of Thokozani is produced by the winemaking team of Diemersfontein in order to minimise overheads and the risk for the transformation company. The range is much lauded, both local and international; having achieved various quality accolades and a loyal following in various world countries through exports. Thokozani has changed the attitudes on the farm. The number of staff shareholders went from a modest beginning of 35 to the current 85. “Our team is even more willing to buy shares than at first; some even wanting to contribute more than 2% of their salaries each month to reinvest in this winning recipe”, Denise elaborated. We embody the true meaning of Thokozani – we proudly celebrate the success of our company; it’s not window dressing, and it’s not lip service, it is a company that greatly enhances and benefits the lives of the people who devote themselves to building the brand and the ethical lifestyle that is Thokozani. We acknowledge where we come from and appreciate the growth and successes that we have achieved, though we are even more excited about the future of our company and the prospect of even more milestones in the future. We are privileged to take you with us and keep on sharing our wine and our ethical lifestyle with you.
Description
Award: Trophy for Best Cabernet Franc, Old Mutual Trophy for Discovery of the Show / Best Value Gold Medallist, and Old Mutual Trophy for Best Red Wine Overall The approach shows a burst of dark fruit, cassis and plum, with a very delicate herbaceous note. The round mouthfeel with grippy, yet elegant, tannin, has a weighted indulgence across all aspects of the palate. A delicate greenness offers balance to the richer characteristics of the wine, ensuring a lingering aftertaste with hints of fennel leaf liquorice.
Food Pairing
Pair this wine with venison dishes such as venison pie, or with a more traditional South African Kudu or Springbok fillet on the braai.
