Dornier Siren Syrah

The Dornier Sirene Syrah is a red wine full of character from the Stellenbosch wine region in South Africa. It combines the special terroir conditions of the Simonsberg with traditional craftsmanship to create an elegant yet powerful wine that delights Syrah lovers with its intense fruit and complex aromas.

The vines for this wine thrive on the slopes of the Simonsberg on deep red soils. The north-eastern exposure and proximity to the mountain ensure that the first rays of sunshine reach the vineyard later in the morning, while cool south-easterly winds in the summer months keep the vines healthy. This combination of climate and soil creates ideal conditions for slow, even ripening of the grapes.

The grapes are fermented in open stainless steel tanks, with pumping over twice a day to ensure optimal extraction of fruit aromas and tannins. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation before maturing for 15 months in second and third passage French oak barrels. This gentle ageing process preserves the fine fruit aromas and gives the wine its elegant structure.

In the glass, the Dornier Sirene Syrah has a deep, dark red color and an intense bouquet of ripe dark berries, accompanied by spicy notes and a hint of violets. On the palate, it impresses with a harmonious balance of velvety tannins, concentrated fruit and a long, elegant finish.

This Syrah is an excellent accompaniment to spicy grilled meat, lamb dishes and game as well as hearty stews.

Dornier Pinotage
The Dornier Pinotage comes from the famous Swartland, a wine region about 50 kilometers north of Dornier, which is known for its unique terroirs and strong wines. The vines grow on natural bush vineyards in a soil mix of sand and coffee stone. These dry conditions without irrigation result in small grapes with intensely concentrated aromas and make for particularly characterful wines.This Pinotage is a deep garnet red in the glass. Intense, persistent aromas of cherries and red berries unfold on the nose, finely complemented by notes of Turkish honey and rose water. On the palate, the red wine impresses with powerful concentration and an exciting combination of aromas of plum, bitter cherry, strawberry jam and black pepper. The taste experience is rounded off by subtle, spicy wood notes from the ageing in French oak.The grapes are harvested by hand for vinification. Some of the grapes are not destemmed in order to obtain additional structure. Fermentation takes place in open stainless steel tanks with pumping over four times a day to extract the fruit and tannins optimally. The Pinotage is pressed before complete drying and fermentation is completed in barrel. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in the barrel. The wine then matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, 10% of which are new wood, which further increases the complexity and depth of the wine.Dornier Pinotage is an excellent accompaniment to roasts and game dishes. Spicy dishes such as curries and the South African national dish bobotie also harmonize perfectly with this wine.
