‘The name commemorated De Toren’s fervent culture of sustainability, an ethos of patronage for the conservation of nature in its ancient and living states.’ It is a little known fact that De Toren, despite not labelling their bottles so, is certified organic – they farm that way because it is correct to do so, but never want their wine to be purchased merely ‘because it is organic’.

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.
