About this Item

De Toren
2009 Z
3 (1 x 3) 1500ml
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

'Quite earthy, with some dried herbs amongst the ultra-ripe fruit. Lush and round, vanilla, cherry sweet and spicy oak. Modern and sumptuous. Drink now to 2025.' - Roland Peens (Feb 2021)

'Earlier drinking 'Bordeaux 5' counterpoint to its sibling, Fusion V. Merlot leads in 2009, succulent plums & berries, rich chocolate tones, beautifully presented in a smooth-textured body.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2012, 4*

'Quite juicy, this features nice grippy briar and licorice snap notes coursing through the core of steeped black currant and fig fruit. Toasted, but integrated, with the licorice edge hanging nicely on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.' -James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Feb 2012)
