De Toren Délicate wine embraces an exquisite portrayal of the famed Bordeaux red blend, uniquely tuned through delicate and refined winemaking techniques. Unveiling an elegant light-bodied palate, the Délicate enchants with a silky, smooth texture and vivacious, fruit-filled accents. Met with layered, complex undertones of raspberry, cranberry, and chewy red cherries, a delicate minerality buffers the poised acidity. Matured in exceptional French oak barrels that add perceptible depth and refinement, the finale is a gracefully integrated, lingering finish. Painstakingly crafted by master vintners, De Toren Délicate is an exceptional wine to savour, brimming with understated opulence and quiet sophistication.

Tasting Notes

Pale-coloured, aromas of fresh, ripe, red strawberries combined with rose petals, marsh- mallows and cinnamon with very little tannin. Best enjoyed chilled. While it displays intense red undertones, this limited-production wine is soft and delicate on the palate.
