Dornier Donatus WhiteThe focus behind this blend is to bring together the opulence and complexity of Chenin Blanc with the freshness and rich mouth feel of the Semillon. In addition to the fruit traditionally used from vineyards in Stellenbosch, we decided to source fruit from an old, dry land vineyard within the Swartland region. |
Dornier Donatus RedWith this wine, we strive to create a red premium blend showing both a distinctive local character and our individual style. 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. |
Dornier Chenin BlancThis particular Chenin is the result of a careful selection of fruit from premium Swartland vineyards, well known for its dry-land bush vines. Due to a somewhat harsh terroir, the fruit is of exceptional quality and concentration. |
Dornier MerlotThis wine has an intense,deep red colour, dominated by a fine concentration of red fruits, cherry and plum, backed up by tones of cedar, spice and oak on the nose. Excellently complimented by a balanced well-rounded acidity and a full aftertaste providing for great texture and superb longevity. |
Dornier Cabernet SauvignonA fine yet powerfully structured palate that fills the mouth with richness and freshness while balancing the fruit beautifully, lingering into a complex finish. Strong aromas of fresh cassis and red berry fruits dominate the nose accompanied by nuances of mocha and tobacco notes.

Dornier PinotageThe nose offers the classic plum, hints of blackberry and savoury aromas common to the variety, backed up by mocha derived from the 12 months French oak barrel ageing. The palate shows off with its concentrated fruit entry, masculine yet well polished tannin structure and a lingering aftertaste. |

Cocoa Hill Chenin BlancThe Cocoa Hill Chenin Blanc is a delectably chic version of what used to be South Africa's Cinderella variety. The vines grow in the decomposed red granite soils of Cocoa Hill – a hilltop in the folds of the Stellenbosch Mountain, supremely positioned in prime South African terroir. |

Flavours of white pear, guava and asparagus dominate the nose with slight nuances of melon playing a supporting role. The palate posesses lovely fresh fruit flavours with zesty persistence. |
Cocoa Hill RoseWith its fine concentration of fruit ranging from strawberries, violet and hints of freshly cut grass and nuances of vanilla and even caramel the palate combines all these flavours with a full and rich mouth feel, leaving one with a fresh aftertaste and lively acidity of this dry Rosé. |
