Dornier Equanimity Cabernet Sauvignon

The Dornier Equanimity Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the famous Stellenbosch wine region and embodies the spirit of a unique terroir with its deep structure and expressive fruit. Inspired by a retreat away from the noise of everyday life, this wine reflects tranquillity, balance and strength - qualities that make it a special experience for connoisseurs.

The grapes ripened under optimal conditions, which enabled a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness. Fermentation took place in open tanks, with the mash being carefully pumped over and punched down four times a day in order to extract the maximum aromas and structure from the berries. The wine then matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% of which were new, giving it a subtle, elegant woody note and additional complexity.

Visually, the Dornier Equanimity Cabernet Sauvignon is an intense black cherry red. The nose is dominated by notes of cassis and black berries, accompanied by hints of cigar box, pencil shavings, subtle oak and a fresh hint of mint. On the palate, it impresses with dense, concentrated fruit aromas, elegant, well-integrated tannins and a long-lasting, balanced finish.

This powerful yet elegant red wine is an excellent accompaniment to hearty beef, lamb and game dishes and develops its full potential at a drinking temperature of around 16-18 °C.

Product recommendation

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.
