Dornier Semillon

The Dornier Semillon is an excellent white wine that perfectly unites the fascinating combination of tradition and modern winemaking. This single-varietal white wine comes from a unique single vineyard in Stellenbosch, which offers ideal conditions for grape quality with its weathered granite soil and cool microclimate. With its bright golden color and complex aromas, this wine impressively demonstrates the character and finesse of the Semillon grape.

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness, ensuring that the best fruit is carefully selected and sorted in the vineyard. The must is fermented in new and second 300-liter French oak barrels and remains on the lees for nine months. This long ageing on the fine lees gives the wine its rich, creamy texture and additional complexity.

Intense aromas of lemon zest, fresh hay, caramelized apple and honey unfold on the nose and shape the elegant character of the Semillon. The aromatic diversity continues on the palate with notes of quince, lemon meringue and brioche. The rich and full texture is supported by a balanced acidity and ends in a long, harmonious aftertaste.

Dornier Semillon is an excellent accompaniment to Asian dishes, spicy curries and poultry and pork dishes. Serve this white wine at around 8-10°C to bring out its full aroma and freshness.

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.
