Description
Vintage: 2021
Origin: Stellenbosch
Varieties: Tempranillo
The purpose of this wine, was to showcase this Spanish varietal grown on the Dornier Estate. With a production of only thirteen barrels, this wine has been nurtured to bring across the true expression of the Dornier terroir as well as the unique characteristic of the single varietal Tempranillo.
After alcoholic fermentation the wines underwent malolactic fermentation in 50% new and 50% older French oak barrels. The Tempranillo spent a total of 38 months in barrel to add to the complexity and maturity needed to complete this wine’s expression.
This wine is full-bodied with excellent length and creamy tannins.
