		<description><![CDATA[Regarded as one of the finest Bordeaux-style wines to emerge from South Africa, De Toren Private Cellar’s Book XVII wine is the perfect blend of craftsmanship and nature — and the latest vintage from 2021 is no exception. De Toren Book XVII 2021 On the cover of the original Book XVII was a Roman eagle, a symbol of imperial power representing courage, strength and immortality. As an homage to the 2 000-year-old compendium of winemaking, De Toren chose this mighty raptor to command its Book XVII label. American illustrator Steven Noble created a majestic portrait of an eagle using a labour-intensive engraving technique, adding intricate narratives within the larger image that reflect the story of the Book XVII red blend and its inspiration. The result is a label that beautifully captures the intense attention to detail given to every step of De Toren’s winemaking process. Book XVII 2021 is the fruit of twenty years of exhaustive recording and analysis by De Toren of countless vineyard variables, from soil composition and weather conditions to oceanographic influences. A fitting tribute to viticultural wisdom both ancient and modern, this Bordeaux-style wine reflects Pliny’s own dedication to researching viticultural practices. For the 2021 vintage of this Bordeaux blend crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Award-winning De Toren Private Cellar has revealed the new packaging of its 2018 right-bank Bordeaux style vintage: De Toren Edition Z. Affectionately known as ‘Z’ by wine aficionados across the world, the symphonic blend of five Bordeaux varietals has a slightly modified name and a stunning new label that showcases the progress of the vintage while retaining the essence of its 15-year legacy and the recent brand relaunch. Edition Z 2018 This meticulous approach to progress prompted the label’s evolution, giving the ruby-red Z with its soft, approachable notes and luscious palate a subtle and respected new identity. The new packaging of the Z has a sophisticated yet almost earthy feel, with intricate diamond-shaped impressions. The metallic silver typography is a shimmery remnant of the previous label. The stately and instantly recognisable De Toren logo – the essence of a lion – still dominates against an intense maroon backdrop. The final touch is the winemaker’s signature and, fittingly enough, the brand tagline, ‘Experience Exceptional’. The new label of the Z is as powerful and layered as its flavour. One of the most popular wines in the cellar’s premium range, the 2018 vintage from which the Z originates was one of the most multi-layered and complex in the history of the vineyard.
