De Toren Private Cellar | South Africa | Stellenbosch |
Vineyard | The people at De Toren are accused by some critics of obsessive vineyard management. It can't go far enough for us. Before starting The Tower, Emil did extensive research on the terroir. With The Black Lion, the folks at De Toren have gone a little further. As with BOOK XVII, special vines have been selected based on infrared images. These vines are carefully treated and only 300 grams of grapes per vine are harvested. |

Vinification | After harvesting (manually of course) the grapes are destemmed manually. After this the grapes go whole in new barriques, here the fermentation takes place. After 12 months the wine is transferred to new barriques again. Here the wine stays another 6 months. |
