About this Item
De Toren "Z" was created by design born of cool ocean facing vineyards high in clay content conditions intensely suited to the planting of Merlot. Affectionately called 'Zee', this approachable ruby-hued beauty takes its name from the cooling Zephyr breeze that air conditions the ocean-fronting vineyard block of its origin, one in which are featured all of the 'Noble Five' Bordeaux varietals, with Merlot dominance. This soft, approachable ruby-hued beauty is a true testament to vines lovingly reared and winemaking raised to an art form.

'Z comes from south-facing blocks on the farm and tends to produce a slightly lighter style of Bordeaux blend, dominated by 53% Merlot. It's still a ripe, plush style with sweet red and black fruits and a core of bramble and black fig.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 91/100
