Get to know: Dornier, Cocoa Hill Chenin Blanc 2025

A vibrant South African Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape, bringing together freshness, fruit and a touch of finesse.

Tasting Note

Dornier, Cocoa Hill Chenin Blanc 2025 is a bright, fruit-forward white that delivers plenty of charm with an easygoing, refreshing style. Pale lemon in colour with lifted aromas of passion fruit, lychee, citrus and a hint of ripe pear. On the palate, this Western Cape Chenin Blanc is lively and energetic, packed with tropical fruit flavours and a crisp, zesty acidity that keeps everything feeling fresh and balanced. It finishes clean and mouthwatering, making it incredibly easy to go back for another sip. This is a brilliantly drinkable South African white wine that hits the sweet spot between freshness and flavour.

Top food pairings:

  • Grilled line-caught fish with lemon and herbs
  • Calamari or seared scallops
  • Fresh summer salads or light pasta dishes
Kate Says

"Cocoa Hill is in the fold of the Stellenbosch Mountain and the soil there is red granite, although some of the grapes also comes from Swartland, giving this Chenin super freshness despite some of the blend having spent time in French oak. It's the sort of wine we love. Electric, fruity and smashable."
