		<description><![CDATA[All 809 bottles of De Toren Private Cellar’s masterful 100% Malbec wine, De Toren Patronus, with its distinctive label illustration of a rhino, were reserved within weeks of the pre-order announcement, and this limited-edition collectors’ wine, encased in a lockable keepsake presentation box with a branded De Toren Key, was sold out within four weeks. Set your sights on De Toren Patronus, a wine rooted in the philosophy of exceptional care and conservation, and presented in exquisite packaging. ‘We knew the Malbec would do well but the interest and response have been overwhelming,’ says Charelle van den Berg, brand manager for De Toren. ‘The popularity of this full-bodied, vibrant wine lies partly in the fact that the De Toren Patronus is a delectable wine to drink immediately but it can also be kept for ageing and investment. Our annual reservations list for 2023 is already filling up.’ Inspired by France’s world-renowned Bordeaux wines, each of the Stellenbosch private cellar’s distinct wines is site-specific and a true reflection of the soil and conditions – the terroir – in which they grow, ensuring a unique flavour profile for each.

This opulent, limited-edition wine is meticulously handcrafted by De Toren Private Cellar in Stellenbosch, Cape Town. It is a wine with a reputation that precedes it &#8211; so much so, that annual client pre-bookings secure about two thirds of the mere 1 400 bottles that are lovingly produced each year. The remaining bottles of the 2018 vintage have now been released. This year marks the 9th vintage release of this exceptionally exclusive wine. The 2018 vintage of this fabled South African Bordeaux-style blend is even richer and more elegant than before. The full-bodied BOOK XVII has often been compared to the famed “Super Tuscans” of the world – those wines characterized by bold winemaking, experimentation with Bordeaux barriques, and an embracing of modern viticulture. BOOK XVII indeed encompasses all this and has been hailed as South Africa’s most luxurious wine. It is also the highest-ever rated South African wine by one of the globe’s leading voices in wine, the US-based Wine Enthusiast. Standing proud amongst the world’s best, De Toren’s BOOK XVII is an exceptional example of extreme viticulture – no expense or [...]]]></description>
