Description
De Toren Delicate N.V
49% Malbec, 20% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Redolent of roses and ripe-for-the-picking strawberries, the refreshing De Toren Délicate is an elegant red blend that combines red’s seductiveness with the undeniable drinkability of white. Medium bodied and immeasurably gentle. It offers up an abundance of juicy fruit and vanilla velvety, smooth tannins. With hints of cinnamon that lead to a sophisticated finish. Delicious on its own as an apéritif, it’s also the perfect consort to the lingering pleasures of Spanish tapas or a platter of the finest French charcuterie.
An innovative reimagining of red wine, the French-inspired De Toren Délicate is a fresh and light cépage that reveals its best assets when served slightly chilled. While it displays intense red undertones, this limited-production wine is soft and delicate on the palate, making it the perfect culinary consort, not to mention the reason a number of the world’s top dining establishments choose it specifically for their dedicated tasting menus.
To release all the wonderful flavors of this wine, we recommend decanting this wine at least one hour before the time and to serve this wine slightly chilled (11 - 13 degrees Celsius).
