Dornier Donatus Red

The Donier Donatus is a masterful cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, sourced exclusively from the Dornier vineyard on the sun-drenched slopes of Stellenbosch Mountain. The unique combination of red, weathered granite soil and clay-rich soils ensures that the grapes ripen slowly and evenly. The result is a profound wine of impressive concentration and fine elegance.

The hand-picked grapes are carefully selected in the cellar and fermented separately. Fermentation takes place in open fermentation vats with pumping over four times a day to ensure optimum extraction while preserving the fruit aromas. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, a third of which are new barrels - this gives the wine a fine spiciness and complexity without masking the freshness. The harmonious blending only takes place after maturation, so that only the best components make it into the bottle.

In the glass, Donier Donatus impresses with an intense black-violet color and a multi-faceted aroma of ripe blackcurrant, cassis and blackberry. Subtle notes of licorice, dark cherry and cedar wood give the wine additional depth. On the palate, Donatus is elegant and balanced, with silky tannins that provide a pleasant structure. The lively acidity keeps the wine fresh and ensures a long-lasting, multi-layered finish.

This red wine goes perfectly with grilled lamb, game dishes or mature cheese. Serve the wine at 16-18 °C to enjoy its full aroma.

Dornier Moordenaarskloof Tinta Barocca
The Moordenaarskloof Tinta Barocca is a full-bodied and complex red wine that impressively reflects the special characteristics of the old Tinta Barocca vines from Swartland. This grape variety, originally from Portugal's Douro Valley, was the first Portuguese variety to be planted in South Africa and has established itself here thanks to its potential for strong, colorful and elegantly structured wines. The wine comes from dry-farmed bush vines on the slopes of the Paardeberg, which grow on weathered granite soil with a proportion of coffee stone. The natural conditions ensure a very low yield and concentrated, colorful grapes with a pronounced aroma.The grapes are harvested by hand in the cool morning hours to preserve the freshness and quality of the berries. After destemming, the must ferments in temperature-controlled, open fermentation tanks, where it is gently punched down four times a day. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in wooden barrels, followed by a 17-month maturation period in the barrel, which gives the wine its fine structure and complexity. This careful processing ensures velvety tannins and a harmonious combination of fruit and spice.In the glass, the Moordenaarskloof Tinta Barocca reveals intense aromas of raspberries, mulberries and aromatic spices. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and rich, with a balanced, structured texture. The ripe, creamy tannins complement the fruit perfectly and ensure a long, elegant finish. This wine embodies the terroir of the Swartland and the special quality of old bush vines in an impressive way.This red wine harmonizes perfectly with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, roast beef or game. It is also an excellent accompaniment to spicy stews and mature hard cheeses.
