Dornier is a family owned winery situated in the ‘Golden Triangle’ of the famous Upper Blaauwklippen Valley – in the fine company of De Trafford, Waterford and Keermont. The property produces premium quality wines, with minimal intervention in the winery, that are expressive of the terroir.
Despite Moordenaarskloof, literally ‘Murderers Valley’, sounding like an awful place – it produces awfully good wine. The vines that produce this Chenin Blanc were planted, in the Moordenaarskloof, in 1986 at an elevation of 230 metres above sea level. The juice was fermented on the lees in 300L French oak barrels, which adds complexity and structure to the wine.
Bright and pale straw in colour, the wine has an intriguing bouquet of citrus, stone fruit and a hint of pineapple. This is supported by fragrant hints of honeysuckle, minerality and cinnamon spice. Lees aging and barrel fermentation adds texture and a hint of creaminess to the wine. You will want another glass – maybe another bottle!
