De Toren Délicate

Ripe red fruit with notes of rose petals, marsmallows and a hint of cinnamon in the background. The soft tannins and fine acids give the wine its unique frivolous and light character. We recommend serving this wine chilled at around 14 degrees.

About the winemaker One of the most striking wine companies in South Africa is without doubt De Toren Private Cellar, founded by Emil den Dulk and Albie Koch. A wine company, which has made a name for itself with red wines based on the five grape varieties from Bordeaux. Emil retired and handed the company over to new owners. Albie Koch now runs the daily operations together with the owners. The various wines from the hand of winemaker Charles Williams are known for their complexity, aging potential, accessibility and, of course, towering quality. Since they work with gravity, the wines have a different tannin structure and can be used in gastronomy in their youth. However, the wines also benefit from several years of cellar storage.

Details

Vineyard
Vinification	When the malbec grapes are harvested, juice is obtained via the saignée method. After vinification, wine (cabernet sauvignon and merlot) is added, which has been aged for a year in wood. In fact it is a blend of two vintages. At De Toren we work entirely with gravity, to move the wine through the cellar. From the moment of pressing until bottling, gravity is used.

Oak aging	Yes
Ageing potential	up to 3 years after purchase
Alcohol percentage	14.5%
Closure	Natural cork
