Tasting Note

The grapes go through an incredibly stringent selection process – first, the best Malbec vines on the property are selected, following that, bunch selection at harvest and finally, post destemming, individual berry selection. Post fermentation, the wine spends 18 months in predominantly French oak. This all results in a wine that is full-bodied, yet elegant and vibrant – expect red and dark fruit, coconut and tobacco. Tannins are gentle and the finish is incredibly long.

Product Notes

De Toren Patronus is an elegant, luxurious South African wine with a complex character. Its flavour profile intricately entwines notes of ripe fruits, such as black cherry and plum, with hints of spice, cocoa, and earthiness. Made from Bordeaux-varietal grapes, this wine has a silken texture and sublime depth. Aged in French oak barrels, it develops an exquisite aroma and refined palate. The substantial yet silky tannins and well-balanced acidity make De Toren Patronus an ideal companion for fine dining. A uniquely enthralling wine, providing a well-rounded, satisfying drinking experience for a discerning wine enthusiast.
