About this Item

2009 Fusion V Double Magnum
1 (1 x 1) 3000ml

De Toren has been focused on developing and re-defining the Bordeaux concept into something uniquely South African since they acquired their first hectares in 1991. Specialising in luxurious & award-winning Bordeaux-style blends.The winery itself was nominated for best ‘New World Winery of the Year’ by Wine Enthusiast in 2011 and has established an iconic following. At De Toren the pursuit for perfection is evident in their grape selection and harvesting. They aim to ‘create an environment where vines produce flawless fruit and then guard these grapes as they are gently steered from vineyard, to cellar to bottle’.

These are the only double magnums on auction and arise from the illustrious 2009 vintage!

Critics Ratings

Rich and polished, with nicely layered dark currant, fig and coffee notes wrapped with ample but integrated toast. The long, cocoa powder-filled finish hangs on nicely.’  Wine Spectator, 92/100
