The Tinta Barocca used to produce this wine is grown as dryland bushvines on the slopes of the Paardeberg in the Swartland. The vines were planted in 1971 in decomposed granite with a portion of coffee stone. Due to all of these factors the yield from this vineyard is naturally very low and the grapes have great colour and concentration.

The grapes for Dornier Tempranillo Reserve are hand harvested in March from low yielding vineyards. Fruit is selected at optimal ripeness with the berries sorted by hand. A gentle vinification method is used in the cellar with the wine being allowed to age in French oak barrels for 44 months.
The wine shows great structure, purirty and fruit concentration.

This wine is intense ruby-red in colour. Aromas of ripe plum and fresh cherry with subtle hints of forest floor. A full, well-structured wine that has a great follow-through of fruit onto the palate.

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.

Again he had been dreaming of the mysterious woman with the black hair. He could not see her face, but heard her calling him by a strange name in a warm singing voice. She smelled of wild herbs, ripe fruits and violets. Her presence was rousing. He woke in wild excitement and put on canvas what had been his dream.
