Thanks to new forms of digital content, the globe top’s cultural institutions and luxury brands – the likes of the renowned Tate in London or Milan’s stylish Fondazione Prada – are now more accessible than ever before. Our society’s marked shift towards virtual engagement has opened up similar possibilities for the South African wine industry to broaden its global audience via live streaming content, webinars, e-tours and so on.

In particular, one of Stellenbosch’s most consistently awarded wine estates, De Toren, producer of limited-edition luxury wines such as the opulent Book XVII (the 2018 vintage has just been released), the iconic De Toren Fusion V, and other collectible wines, has eagerly embraced digital means to connect with its ardent fans. Wine connoisseurs, critics, collectors and an appreciative audience at large can now embark on more extensive digital explorations of De Toren.

De Toren has introduced new and engaging virtual tasting experiences, tours and sessions with the winemakers, which make this private cellar available to lovers of the vine anywhere in the world. Even when COVID-19 lockdown restrictions have eased completely, De Toren will retain this virtual dimension.

“De Toren’s unfailing commitment to quality and meticulous winemaking has firmly established it on the world’s wine map, so we’re naturally delighted to be able to invite the world to the estate through our newly available virtual extensions,” says Albie Koch, De Toren’s Managing Partner. Koch has been with De Toren from day one as the estate’s very first winemaker, and as such, has witnessed De Toren’s ever-upward trajectory in terms of development and critical recognition for excellence.
