About this Item

De Toren
Z 2006
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
De Toren "Z" was created by design born of cool ocean facing vineyards high in clay content conditions intensely suited to the planting of Merlot. Affectionately called 'Zee', this approachable ruby-hued beauty takes its name from the cooling Zephyr breeze that air conditions the ocean-fronting vineyard block of its origin, one in which are featured all of the 'Noble Five' Bordeaux varietals, with Merlot dominance. This soft, approachable ruby-hued beauty is a true testament to vines lovingly reared and winemaking raised to an art form.

Critics Ratings

'Not to be mistaken for a light-weight brother to the V, this still packs a lot of punch with brooding dark fruit, nicely polished by oak and complexing bottle age. Possessing ample legs for further development, but also well composed for drinking now. Like a modern Pomerol.'- Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2021), 94/100

'Quite big and sweet, with spicy rich and soft juicy fruit. Quite fresh and nicely elegant with a super well-balanced subtle finish. Delicious now! Drink now to 2028' - Roland Peens (Feb 2021)

Deep aromas of plum, anise, blueberry and black fruit on the nose are followed by layers of intense cedar, plum and mocha flavors. A touch of rose and cedar sweetness adds dimension. Solid structure and good minerality. An approachable wine with class.' - Susan Kostrzewa, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Dec 2009)

'Merlot-led 'Zee' an earlier-accessible counterfoil to burly cellar sibling; 06 plum & blueberry lift to meaty core, light on its zesty feet. Yr Fr/Am wood, 25% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4*
