Dornier Cocoa Hill Chenin Blanc

The Dornier Cocoa Hill Chenin Blanc comes from the Stellenbosch and Swartland wine regions in the Western Cape, South Africa. Inspired by the adventurous story of the pirate Long Ben, who once made Table Bay unsafe and later planted vines on Cocoa Hill, this wine embodies the spirit of the coast and the fertile soils that produce the grapes today.

This versatile grape variety has been vinified into a fresh and fruity style of wine with a vibrant, bright color. On the nose, the white wine has delicate aromas of passion fruit and lychee, which continue on the palate with a lively and refreshing acidity. The tropical fruit aromas give the wine an invigorating freshness and complexity.

Grapes from the Stellenbosch and Swartland regions are used for vinification. Fermentation takes place in both stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels, using specially selected yeasts to promote the characteristic fruit and aroma profiles.

Thanks to its lively fruit, this Chenin Blanc is an ideal accompaniment to fresh salads, light pasta dishes and grilled seafood, such as line fish. Calamari and scallops also complement this elegant wine perfectly. Enjoy it at a temperature of 8-10 °C.

Dornier Moordernaarskloof Chenin Blanc
The Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc comes from a unique vineyard on the Keerweerder estate, on the slopes of the Stellenbosch Mountains. This small but versatile parcel is characterized by three different soil types, which give the wine remarkable complexity and depth. Since its planting in 1986 at the foot of the Moordenaarskloof at an altitude of 230 meters, the vineyard has been characterized by a natural balance of growth and yield, which is reflected in the quality of the grapes.The grapes are harvested by hand in the cool morning hours at the beginning of February and gently pressed. After a cold, natural clarification of the must, fermentation takes place in old 300-liter French oak barrels. The wine remains on the lees until bottling, which gives it a creamy texture and a special fullness. Gentle production with minimal intervention guarantees the authentic expression of the terroir and the Chenin Blanc variety.In the glass, the Dornier Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc is a light, pale straw yellow. Delicate scents of wild flowers and Cape honeysuckle unfold on the nose, accompanied by aromas of white peaches and pineapple. A fine minerality gives the wine additional depth. On the palate, the aromatic freshness is combined with an elegant, intense and creamy texture that underlines the character of the white wine.The Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc is ideal as an aperitif and goes perfectly with light starters, fresh seafood or cold white meat. Serve it well chilled at around 8-10 °C to enjoy the freshness and fine aromas to the full.

Dornier Pinotage
The Dornier Pinotage comes from the famous Swartland, a wine region about 50 kilometers north of Dornier, which is known for its unique terroirs and strong wines. The vines grow on natural bush vineyards in a soil mix of sand and coffee stone. These dry conditions without irrigation result in small grapes with intensely concentrated aromas and make for particularly characterful wines.This Pinotage is a deep garnet red in the glass. Intense, persistent aromas of cherries and red berries unfold on the nose, finely complemented by notes of Turkish honey and rose water. On the palate, the red wine impresses with powerful concentration and an exciting combination of aromas of plum, bitter cherry, strawberry jam and black pepper. The taste experience is rounded off by subtle, spicy wood notes from the ageing in French oak.The grapes are harvested by hand for vinification. Some of the grapes are not destemmed in order to obtain additional structure. Fermentation takes place in open stainless steel tanks with pumping over four times a day to extract the fruit and tannins optimally. The Pinotage is pressed before complete drying and fermentation is completed in barrel. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in the barrel. The wine then matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, 10% of which are new wood, which further increases the complexity and depth of the wine.Dornier Pinotage is an excellent accompaniment to roasts and game dishes. Spicy dishes such as curries and the South African national dish bobotie also harmonize perfectly with this wine.

Lanzerac Chardonnay
The grapes for the Lanzerac Chardonnay come from the estate’s various vineyards, of which the oldest are more than 20 years old. The blending of the grapes from the different vineyards has a positive impact on the wines’ complexity. The yield is less than 5 tons per hectare (1 hectare = approx. 2.47 acres). In order to only pick healthy and fully ripe grapes, the harvest was carried out by hand. Subsequently, the grapes were again selected by hand in the cellar. After cutting, the grapes were cooled down to 59 °F and pressed.The wine was fermented in barrels, of which 70% were 300-litre oak casks and 30% were stainless steel tanks. After 9 months, the two batches were blended. The Lanzerac Chardonnay is full-bodied and distinctive, offering aromas of citrus, ginger, vanilla and clover on the nose. On the palate, it shows a noticeable balance between fruit, acidity and softness. The finish is creamy and long-lasting. Thanks to its wonderful complexity, the Lanzerac Chardonnay goes beautifully with smoked salmon, sea bass or paella with seafood.

Babylonstoren Babel Red Blend
Der Babylonstoren Babel Red Blend ist ein Rotwein aus Südafrika, der mit nahezu 50 % vor allem von der Rebsorte Shiraz (Syrah) geprägt ist. Der hochwertige, in französischem Eichenholz ausgebaute Blend wird von Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot und Pinotage vervollständigt. Das Ergebnis ist ein Rotwein, der im Endergebnis des Jahrgangs 2021 „bewundernswert“ ist. Dieses Urteil stammt von Christine Rudman, die dem Babel Red Blend in John Platter’s Wine Guide 4 von 5 Sternen verleiht. Das intensive, komplexe Bouquet des rubinroten Weins vereint Noten von Kirschen, Brombeeren, Maulbeeren und Pflaumen. Diese Fruchtigkeit harmoniert wunderbar mit Noten von Vanille, dunkler Schokolade sowie tragenden Eichennoten. Rudman erkennt „dunkle Früchte, Tabak und herzhafte Gewürze“.Am Gaumen ist der Babylonstoren Babel Red Blend trocken und meisterhaft ausgewogen. Die Assemblage besitzt einen vollen Körper, angenehm weiche Tannine und eine dichte Struktur. Das Aromenspiel wird geprägt von saftigen, schwarzen Früchten, die wundervoll harmonieren mit Aromen von Tabak und Graphit. „Das Tanninrückgrat gibt Definition und Fokus“, urteilt Rudman. Das Finale hallt noch lange nach. Genießen Sie den Babylonstoren Babel Red Blend bei einer Trinktemperatur von 16 bis 18 Grad. Er ist ein feiner Begleiter von Wildschweinkeule, die bei niedriger Temperatur gegart wurde, oder auch zu gegrillten Lammkoteletts mit Rosmarin.
