Product information "Dornier Cocoa Hill Merlot 2020"
The Dornier Cocoa Hill Merlot flows into the glass in a beautiful red. The wonderful scent of dark and red fruits flows into the nose, underpinned by spicy nuances. On the palate, the red wine is aromatic and well balanced with concentrated fruit notes. A fresh acidity and fine tannins provide a nice mouthfeel and culminate in a long-lasting finish. The Dornier Cocoa Hill Merlot, aged for twelve months in French oak, is best enjoyed with dark meat, which is welcome to come from the grill. Well-aged cheese is also highly recommended with this red wine.

Dornier Family - complex and refined wines from Stellenbosch
The roots of the Dornier winery go back to the late 17th century, but it has only existed in its current form since 1995. At that time, the Dornier family bought the first of a total of four wine farms. In 2020, the Rupert family, whose earnings are not insignificant for the South African wine world, took over the Dornier winery. The focus is on producing premium wines that perfectly express their unique terroir in the Golden Triangle.
Dornier: Modern Wines of an outstanding Quality
The newly built wine cellar is just as eye-catching as the two painstakingly restored buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries and sets architectural accents with its curved roof, the processed brick and the many reflective surfaces. The wines are extremely modern and belong to the top class of South Africa. In addition to the Cocoa Hill and the Dornier Range, Dornier's portfolio includes the complex creations of the Donatus and Moordenaarskloof collections as well as the flagship wine CDM, which pays homage to Dornier's founder, Christoph Modeste Dornier.
Dornier's vineyards are the basis for diversity in the wine glass
The grapes for the excellent premium wines come from vineyards with different soil types and altitudes, so each grape variety receives the best conditions. At an altitude of 100 to 200 metres above sea level, for example, the vines can take root in deep, decomposed red or yellow granite or sandstone. In addition, cool sea breezes slow down the ripening process and intensify the aromas in the grapes. All of this contributes to the complexity of the wines that visitors can enjoy in Dornier's Tasting Room – along with the panoramic view of the Stellenbosch Mountains.
