Tasting Note

The iconic Left Bank-based blend, De Toren Fusion V is meticulously crafted from Bordeaux’s ‘Noble Five’ varietals and, with its complex flavours of dark sour cherry, a spiciness of tobacco, and a hint of aniseed, it offers a stylish departure for sophisticated oenophilic tastes. This is a stunning expression of a superb vintage as well as terroir. Soft as spun silk, this is a wine that will only improve with age.

Each vintage is carefully managed to produce the signature Bordeaux blends, De Toren Z and De Toren Fusion V which are appreciated by connoisseurs worldwide. Both are rich, complex and full-bodied wines reflecting the perfect balance of five grape varieties the estate specialises in: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.

Known not only for their exquisite wines, De Toren prides itself on sustainable practises and commitment to social responsibility. They reduced their traditional carbon footprint and water usage significantly, opting for solar energy and other sustainable forms of farming and winemaking.

Over the years, De Toren has seen countless international accolades coming it's way. This lies on the back of the dedication and mindfulness that go into each bottle. Taste a De Toren wine, and you'll experience the splendid fusion of invaluable traditions with future-forward thinking.
