The 2022 Patronus has the characteristic Malbec purple hue when first seen in the glass. Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry leap from the glass, accompanied by floral notes of violet and hints of of purple spice. As this wine opens up, spicy layers of clove, black pepper, and a touch of vanilla emerge, enhancing its complexity. On the palate, a tart-currant opening is followed by the wine's broad, well-structured tannins which, while providing a firm grip are elegantly polished, contributing to a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and lingering, with the interplay of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle minerality leaving a lasting impression. Everything in this wine is beautifully equilibrated, with each component harmonizing seamlessly.

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.
