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.
