Dornier Equanimity Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750ml

Reviews:

The artist walked out of his usual restaurant in town where he had been joking and arguing, bragging and lamenting with friends. But now, he longed for his refuge and respite. The place with the protruding rocks, red sands and nebulous light – hidden just above the famed vineyard. Only here was his mind cleared of all small things.

Tasting Notes:
A good example of this noble variety with concentrated fruit, great structure and the ability to age well. Intense black cherry colour with a full bouquet of cassis, black berries, cigar box, pencil shavings and subtle oak and a hint of mint to ensure freshness. The palate has density and concentrated flavours of dark fruit with elegant tannins to create a wellbalanced wine with a long finish.

Vintage Conditions:

The ripening season leading up to the 2021 harvest provided excellent conditions for optimal ripeness and flavour development that resulted in exceptional fruit concentration and elegance in the wines of this vintage

Fermentation and Ageing:

This wine was fermented in open tanks with pump overs and punch downs being performed four times daily to extract all possible flavours from the berries. After alcoholic fermentation the wines underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel followed by 24 months ageing in 30% new French oak barrels.

Food Pairing:
Best with beef, lamb and game dishes.
