“The Dorper range was conceived from the idea of producing a great “village” wine as done in Burgundy, France. And so we came to Village (French) – Town (English) – Dorp (Afrikaans). In South Africa we have a Dorper sheep breed, these black headed sheep are adaptable and hardy much like the Pinotage and Chenin Blanc varieties. So with a bit of word play the Dorper Pinotage was created in 2017, and in 2020 joined by a Chenin Blanc. These wines are focused on exploring the diversity and complexity of Stellenbosch old vine sites.”
