The property produces premium quality wines, with minimal intervention in the winery, that are expressive of the terroir. Dornier have sourced a brilliant old block, planted in 1971, of Tinta Barocca from the Swartland for this wine. The vines are old, dryland farmed and planted in poor soils – all of these factors reduce the yield on the vines, thus boosting the concentration of the fruit. Post fermentation in stainless steel, the wine undergoes Malolactic fermentation and is aged in French oak for 17 months. Broodingly dark in colour and delectably full bodied. Raspberry, mulberry and aromatic spices jump out of the glass. Fine grained, grippy, tannins are in perfect harmony with the abundance of concentrated fruit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dornier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43743441879209,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0542\/0168\/0041\/files\/IMG-20240312-WA0005.jpg?v=1710258263"},{"product_id":"moya-meaker-pinot-noir","title":"Moya Meaker, Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"accordion\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__group\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"#\" class=\"accordion__label\"\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Tasting Notes\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moya Meaker\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elgin South Africa\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low Intervention\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750 ml\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \nA charmingly ripe, red fruited Pinot from Elgin.
