Medium-bodied and gentle, offering juicy red fruit wrapped in velvety, vanilla-laced tannins that finish clean and refreshing. Equally at home as an apéritif or alongside Spanish tapas, charcuterie, or a platter of matured cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermented and finished in stainless steel to preserve its fresh, fruit-forward character rather than layering on oak — a deliberately lighter-touch approach than the estate’s flagship Fusion V, designed for early, chilled drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emil and Sonette den Dulk left Johannesburg in 1991 in search of the Cape winelands, eventually settling on a hillside site in the Polkadraai Hills that Emil described as “a little piece of heaven.” With guidance from viticulturists at the University of Stellenbosch, Emil set out to create South Africa’s first five-varietal Bordeaux blend — the estate’s flagship Fusion V — and De Toren takes its name from the tower-shaped, gravity-flow winery he built to make it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Toren Private Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44031455101002,"sku":null,"price":77.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/5718\/5098\/files\/de-Toren-delicate.jpg?v=1786026654","url":"https:\/\/barelyaged.sg\/products\/de-toren-delicate","provider":"Barely Aged","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
