South Africa's iconic Bordeaux-style blend.

De Toren Fusion V is a masterfully crafted blend that represents the pinnacle of South African winemaking. From the prestigious Stellenbosch region, this wine brings together five classic Bordeaux varietals in perfect harmony, creating a wine of exceptional depth, complexity, and aging potential. The name 'Fusion V' reflects the seamless integration of five noble grapes into one extraordinary expression.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Deep, opaque ruby with purple highlights
• Nose: Intense aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate, and hints of violet and graphite. Subtle oak influence adds complexity with nuances of vanilla and espresso
• Palate: Full-bodied and richly textured with concentrated flavors of cassis, black cherry, and mulberry. Firm yet refined tannins provide structure, while integrated oak contributes layers of mocha, spice, and toasted nuts. The wine shows remarkable balance between power and elegance
• Finish: Long and persistent with lingering notes of dark fruit, espresso, and a distinctive mineral character reflecting Stellenbosch's granite soils

The Blend & Winemaking:

Fusion V typically combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot—each varietal contributing its unique character to create a wine greater than the sum of its parts. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine develops complexity while maintaining fruit purity and terroir expression.

Perfect Pairings: Grilled ribeye steak, braised lamb shanks, venison, aged hard cheeses, or rich mushroom dishes.
