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
Der Dornier Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc stammt von einem einzigartigen Weinberg auf dem Keerweerder-Anwesen an den Hängen des Stellenbosch-Gebirges. Diese kleine, aber vielseitige Parzelle zeichnet sich durch drei unterschiedliche Bodenarten aus, die dem Wein eine bemerkenswerte Komplexität und Tiefe verleihen. Seit der Pflanzung im Jahr 1986 am Fuße des Moordenaarskloof auf 230 Metern Höhe überzeugt der Weinberg durch ein natürliches Gleichgewicht von Wachstum und Ertrag, was sich in der Qualität der Trauben widerspiegelt.Die Trauben werden in den kühlen Morgenstunden Anfang Februar von Hand geerntet und schonend gepresst. Nach einer kalten, natürlichen Klärung des Mosts erfolgt die Gärung in alten 300-Liter-Fässern aus französischer Eiche. Der Wein bleibt bis zur Abfüllung auf der Hefe, was ihm eine cremige Textur und eine besondere Fülle verleiht. Die schonende Herstellung mit minimalen Eingriffen garantiert den authentischen Ausdruck des Terroirs und der Sorte Chenin Blanc.Im Glas zeigt sich der Dornier Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc in einem hellen, blassen Strohgelb. In der Nase entfalten sich zarte Düfte von Wildblumen und Kap-Geißblatt, begleitet von Aromen weißer Pfirsiche und Ananas. Eine feine Mineralität verleiht dem Wein zusätzlich Tiefe. Am Gaumen verbindet sich die aromatische Frische mit einer eleganten, intensiven und cremigen Textur, die den Charakter des Weißweins unterstreicht.Der Moordenaarskloof Chenin Blanc eignet sich hervorragend als Aperitif und passt ideal zu leichten Vorspeisen, frischen Meeresfrüchten oder kaltem weißen Fleisch. Servieren Sie ihn gut gekühlt bei etwa 8–10 °C, um die Frische und feinen Aromen optimal zu genießen.

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.
