The De Toren Edition Z 2019 is an exceptional South African red blend in the acclaimed Right Bank Bordeaux style. This Merlot-dominant wine is crafted from grapes grown during a cooler Stellenbosch vintage, resulting in impressive elegance and freshness. The name “Z” is a tribute to the cooling Zephyr breeze that air-conditions the ocean-facing vineyards of the estate. The 750ml bottle is perfect for enjoyment now or for confident cellaring.
