About this Item

De Toren
Fusion V 2012
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
The iconic Left Bank based blend from De Toren. Named for the 'fusing' together of Bordeaux's five famous varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec). The Fusion V celebrated its maiden vintage in 1999 and was introduced to the international markets. Under the guidance of Albie Koch this Bordeaux left-bank inspired blend has accumulated an energised and praised following from wine aficionados both in South Africa and abroad (especially in the US).

Critics Ratings

'First made in 1999, Fusion V has developed a justified reputation as one of the Cape's best Bordeaux blends. Dominated by 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is suitably dense and structured, complemented by lots of toasty oak and layers of ripe, sumptuous flavours of fig, fruitcake and cassis.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 93/100

'Cab-led (56%) 5-way Bordeaux blend; part natural ferment. 2012 concentrated, with rich, fragrant fruit & tightly coiled tannins. Bold, mouthfilling & firmly structured. Half-new oak will support long & fruitful maturation. Decant if impatient.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
