De Toren Book XVII 2019 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R4,100
‘The 2019 Book XVII is mineral-driven on the nose with spicy dark fruit essences and elements of dusty flowers in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers subtle notions of graphite and pencil shavings, showing a youthful yet firm structure before gripping tannins clamp down on the gumline. Give it another year or two in the bottle to loosen, and enjoy with food. 2025-2037’ – Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 93+/100
'BOOK XVII has an opulent crème de-cassis, fruitcake and fig scented bouquet with a palate that is ostentatious. However, this full-bodied turbo-charged wine is so silky smooth and seductive in a way that its charms are impossible to resist. Previously voted as South Africa’s Best Luxury Wine, the ultra-luxurious Book XVII recently also secured itself the title as South Africa’s Highest Rated Wine Ever by the esteemed USA publisher, Wine Enthusiast Magazine.' – De Toren
'The sensational Book XVII 2019 is truly a celebration of this vintage’s magnificent expression of fruit, its impressively bold characteristics, yet subtle elegance. This, along with the team’s extraordinary devotion and expertise invested in crafting this one-of-a-kind wine, makes for an exceptional combination.' – Charles Williams, Cellar Master

| Producer information | De Toren acquired their first vineyards in 1991 and redefined the Bordeaux concept in South Africa ever since, establishing an iconic following. With the De Toren Fusion V, first the blends were decided upon and thereafter the vines were planted to match the blend. 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’ – De Toren. |
