Product Notes

De Toren The Black Lion wine is a sumptuous blend of old vine Shiraz from South Africa. This masterful creation exudes remarkable depth, enveloping the palate with rich, voluptuous layers of dark, ripe fruit. On the nose, it reveals complex whiffs of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and a slight hint of star anise. The wine is beautifully full-bodied with a seamless, velvety texture and an elegant finish that lingers. Created from hand-sorted grapes, meticulous crafting, and extreme cellar aging, De Toren The Black Lion wine is an exquisite embodiment of luxury, elegance and outstanding craftsmanship in every bottle.
