Description

Named after the unique five varietal blend, Fusion V is truly a labour of love where the likes of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot are gently married to form a truly unique South
African blend.
The 25 hectares are planted with the classic V varieties from Bordeaux. Careful selection and blending ensures
that Fusion V is the best expression of this outstanding land in each year. This perhaps the most claret-like of
all the Cape blends we know. Cedar, tobacco, sandalwood and black spice dominated on first taste a year ago.
Now the black cherry, spiced plum and lifted cassis notes are coming to the fore. Last few cases of this highly
collectable red. Drink now to 2030

Producer Information: De Toren

In 1994 Emil and Sonette Den Dulk were searching for a special property in the Cape. Their aim was to create South Africa’s first five varietal Bordeaux blend with a philosophy of gentle winemaking and detailed vineyard practices. They came to a spot looking out at Table Mountain in the West, across False Bay and east to the Stellenbosch mountains, and they knew they had found what they were looking for.

Stellenbosch native Albie Koch is cellar master. Together with winemaker Charles Williams, they are committed to creating wines that are elegant, nuanced, silky soft and true to site.
