Dornier is a family owned winery situated in the ‘Golden Triangle’ of the famous Upper Blaauwklippen Valley – in the fine company of De Trafford, Waterford and Keermont. The property produces premium quality wines, with minimal intervention in the winery, that are expressive of the terroir.
Merlot (34%), Shiraz (30%), Cabernet Sauvignon (19%), Malbec (14%) and Petit Verdot (3%) – each component was separately fermented and barrel aged, in older French oak, for 12 months before blending. A small un-oaked component was also added to bring some freshness to the blend to ease earlier drinking.
A full bodied red with aromas of red and black fruit, some freshly ground pepper and a hint of spice. The concentrated fruit, fresh acidity and find tannin give rise to a long finish.
