The Dornier Malbec impressively demonstrates how expressive and full-bodied this grape variety in South Africa can be as a single varietal. With its thick-skinned berry and juicy texture, it develops intense aromas of dark berries, plums and fine violet notes, which are typical of Malbec. On the palate, it impresses with rich fruit, nuances of dark chocolate and a balanced tannin structure that leads to a long, harmonious finish.
The grapes come from the Groenkloof farm on Stellenbosch Mountain, the highest vineyard on Dornier. The decomposed granite soils give the wine structure and elegance. The yield is deliberately kept low so that each berry can develop its full aroma - a real favorite not only for wine lovers, but also for the baboons that live there.
Fermentation takes place in open stainless steel tanks with regular pumpovers. After alcoholic fermentation, the red wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for 24 months in French oak barrels. The result is a complex, full-bodied red wine with a fine balance between fruit and structure.
Dornier Malbec is the ideal accompaniment to grilled meat such as beef or lamb, but also goes well with exotic dishes such as Thai roast or Cajun chicken and with vegetarian or meat empanadas, and it develops its full flavor best at a drinking temperature of 16 - 18 °C.
