About this Item

2013 Book XVII
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

De Toren acquired their first vineyards in 1991 and redefined the Bordeaux concept in South Africa ever since, establishing an iconic following. The Book XVII name originates from the writings of the Roman philosopher 'Pliny the Elder' who in book number 17 touches on why wines from certain areas are exceptional. With its maiden vintage in 2010, and with no more than 1200 exclusively numbered bottles produced with each vintage. Book XVII is poised to become an icon of history in its own right, and one that Pilny, no doubt, would have given his coveted stamp of approval. Handmade and crafted at De Toren.
