Dornier 2006 Donatus receives a 90 for Blended Red Wines in this June's Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide!

Described as "This alluring Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon blend starts with aromas of black cherry, violets and black currant, leading into waves of black fruit and spice. Structured but smooth, it has a classic, ageable quality. Good minerality gives it an upright character. Delicious now, but definitely can be held."

The Wine

Hey – it’s a wine farm, of course the wine list is going to be good! Fair prices for their own wines (R30 mark-up per bottle from cellar-door prices and all of them available by the glass) and a good list of their neighbours as well at very reasonable prices. I always enjoy their second label wines, especially the Cocoa Hill Rosé which is a great food partner. We were also there to taste the new vintages of the flagship wines – Donatus Red and Donatus White. For my money, the white is the better of the two – a Chenin/Semillon blend utilising old bushvine grapes from Swartland as well as their own. It’s all barrel-fermented and is an extremely well-balanced, food-friendly wine.

Dornier officially opens After Care Center for Farm Children

With the support of Anna Foundation and in association with Waterford Estate, Dornier has officially opened its aftercare center in the renovated community hall. Just under 30 children will be benefiting from the 3R concept promoted by Anna Foundation: Reading, Running, and Right-ing (right lifestyle).In the presence of farm management, children, parents and members of Anna Foundation, Leana Claassen, one of two teachers, cut the ribbon and the children performed dances, songs and gave testimonies of their experiences with the after care.
The introduction of after care is already improving literacy amongst the children. It also helps them to make the right decisions to lead a drug-free life and to avoid unwanted pregnancies and diseases.

Dornier presents its redesigned label of the Cocoa Hill range

Five years after the introduction of the Cocoa Hill range we have decided to sell the wines under the Dornier brand, yet we will retain the logo with the bandanna over the eye and the sub-brand The Pirate of Cocoa Hill on the label. Both the original label and the new label have been developed by Hauman & Small based on a painting by our late founder artist Christoph Dornier.

The range has been very successful in several countries and has received several awards. We see it as a true Dornier product that we are proud of.

The Cocoa Hill range consist of four wines. The Cocoa Hill Red, a Shiraz-based bland, the Chenin blanc, the Sauvignon blanc and the Rose (Merlot/Cabernet Franc)
