De Toren
The truth is in the vine. The guiding philosophy that elevated this boutique estate into one of South Africa’s most respected premium wine producers. De Toren began with a view. Enchanted by the estate’s panoramic vistas stretching from the Helderberg, over False Bay and across to Table Mountain and recognising the untapped potential of this unique site, the foundation for De Toren’s innovative approach to crafting world-class Bordeaux-style wines, was laid. Working closely with academics from the Stellenbosch University, an extensive soil analysis of the property embarked. A dozen sampling holes were dug on each hectare of the farm, treble the wine industry’s standard practice. Across the estate’s 25 hectares, 15 separate soil types were identified and ultimately 25 clones across the five classic Bordeaux varieties were planted. Here this philosophy of craftsmanship and exceptional care was born and was applied to everything we have done ever since.
Description
De Toren Délicate reveals an exemplarily sensory pleasure of fresh, luscious red strawberries with deep, elegant flavours and a mystical aroma of cinnamon. This silky-smooth Malbec-dominated blend, is a superbly fresh, light styled red blend that reveals its exquisite nature when served slightly chilled. The gentle balance of acidity gives this wine its unique character of being fresh, youthful and light.
