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 De Toren, Emil did extensive research on the terroir. With Patronus, the folks at De Toren have gone a little further. As with BOOK XVII and The Black Lion, 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 unpressed in new barriques, here the fermentation takes place. Their is separate cellar for Patronus, Book XVII and The Black Lion with the perfect ageing conditions. After 18 months the wine is bottled. |
