Dornier Equanimity Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Dornier Wine Estate sits on the slopes of the upper Blaauwklippen Valley in Stellenbosch, a region defined by cool Atlantic breezes, decomposed granite soils and varied elevations that help Cabernet Sauvignon develop ripe fruit with firm natural structure. Dornier’s approach is rooted in respect for place and varietal expression: vineyards are managed with care, and winemaking combines both modern techniques and thoughtful oak maturation to bring out concentration and clarity without unnecessary intervention. The result is wine that feels grounded in Stellenbosch’s terroir - robust yet refined, expressive yet poised - reflecting a balance between New World fruit intensity and classic structure.
Colour:
Deep ruby with a garnet edge, signalling good concentration and maturity.
Nose:
The bouquet opens with rich dark fruit — cassis and blackberries — layered with secondary notes of pencil shavings, cigar box, subtle oak spice and a refreshing hint of mint.
Palate:
On the palate this Cabernet delivers sturdy dark fruit framed by polished, integrated tannins and measured acidity. There’s a sense of density and focus, with flavours of blackcurrant and plum supported by savoury hints from the oak.
Finish:
The finish is persistent and smooth, leaving impressions of ripe dark fruit, gentle spice and warm, balanced structure.
