Dornier Semillon

The Dornier Semillon is an excellent white wine that perfectly unites the fascinating combination of tradition and modern winemaking. This single-varietal white wine comes from a unique single vineyard in Stellenbosch, which offers ideal conditions for grape quality with its weathered granite soil and cool microclimate. With its bright golden color and complex aromas, this wine impressively demonstrates the character and finesse of the Semillon grape.

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness, ensuring that the best fruit is carefully selected and sorted in the vineyard. The must is fermented in new and second 300-liter French oak barrels and remains on the lees for nine months. This long ageing on the fine lees gives the wine its rich, creamy texture and additional complexity.

Intense aromas of lemon zest, fresh hay, caramelized apple and honey unfold on the nose and shape the elegant character of the Semillon. The aromatic diversity continues on the palate with notes of quince, lemon meringue and brioche. The rich and full texture is supported by a balanced acidity and ends in a long, harmonious aftertaste.

Dornier Semillon is an excellent accompaniment to Asian dishes, spicy curries and poultry and pork dishes. Serve this white wine at around 8-10°C to bring out its full aroma and freshness.
