Tokar Estate Wines

About their wines…

Tokar Estate award-winning wines are bold and distinctive. They are gutsy, authentic expressions of their Yarra Valley terroir. Tokar Estate wines are well structured but retain the elegance the Yarra Valley is renowned for. All our wines are single vineyard and estate grown. They are nurtured from vineyard to bottle by winemaker Martin Siebert and the Tokar family. 

From the winemaker…

The recent success of Tokar Estate’s wines in shows is testament to winemaker Martin Siebert’s attention to detail and his love of his craft. Martin joined the Tokar Estate family in 2012. He brings with him a wealth of winemaking experience and a passion for creating quality wines.

Martin has worked in renowned wineries in Victoria and overseas, including Benjamin Leroux (Burgundy, France), Pegasus Bay (Canterbury, New Zealand) and Yarra Yering (Yarra Valley, Victoria). Martin focuses on growing quality fruit, which he believes is the key to making premium wine. He spends much of his time overseeing and hand-tending the vineyard, and his approach in the cellar is one of minimal intervention.

“Burgundy in particular taught me a huge amount about the importance of the vineyard site and how the wines should speak of where they were grown. Great wines can only be made from great sites so I was delighted to jump on board with Tokar Estate as I knew the site was bursting with potential. Since then, I have been carefully tending the vineyard and making the wines with a very light-handed approach to hopefully reach that potential. Occasionally the wine needs a gentle nudge to keep it on track but my role as a winemaker is to nurse the wine through its natural transition from grape to wine, then bottle it”.
