Dornier Donatus Red Wine

With our DONATUS, we strive to create a red premium blend showing both a distinctive local character and our individual style. We achieve this with a careful selection of fruit from our healthy vineyards. All wines are fermented and aged in separate batches and skilfully blended after a long ageing process. There are no standard blending components; consistency is always achieved in quality and style. DONATUS offers the best of old world classic concentration and new world boldness. Tasting Notes: Vintage conditions where ideal for the grape maturity and resulted in wines with more elegance and poise than those of warmer vintages. Aromas of spice, cassis, tobacco and hints of sweet fruit dominate the complex nose. Characteristics of the vintage conditions are evident on the palate with its full yet firm tannin structure and fresh flavour profile of red fruits with a fresh, lingering finish. Vintage Conditions: The season leading up to the harvest period provided excellent conditions for optimal ripeness and flavour concentration. This year the harvest started earlier than expected, 10 days to be exact, however, it ended approximately 10 days later. These longer ripening conditions therefore provided for excellent fruit concentration and elegance.
