Christoph Dornier - A Beautiful Mind

Christoph Dornier was born on December 4th 1938 as the youngest child of Claude Dornier, the German aviation pioneer.

Art has been his vocation from early days. After art schools in Switzerland and Germany, he has developed his trademark style made of symbols, riddles and bright colours.

Christoph was the founder of the Christoph Dornier Foundation for behavioural psychology in Germany, the Christoph Dornier Clinic in Germany, Dornier Wines in South Africa, and the co-founder of De Zalze Golf Estate in South Africa.

Christoph passed away on August 14th 2008 in Lucerne.

More medals than we thought

In addition to this, we have received a Silver and Best in Class for our Donatus White 2008 and a Silver for our Donatus Red 2006.

Congratulations to our winemaker JC Steyn.
