Dormershire Wine Estate

Dormershire Wine Estate


The estate is located on the Kanonkop Hill, between Stellenbosch and Cape Town, from which the cannon was fired which alerted Stellenbosch burghers to the arrival of ships in Table Bay. The estate is in close proximity to both Table Bay and False Bay, with their cool ocean breezes and enjoys the benefit of the temperate ocean climate.

It has a panoramic view of Table Mountain from the vineyards, this also being depicted on the labels.

The estate has, since 1996, been developed with plantings of Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz cultivars which were selected to complement the terroir of the farm which is enhanced by cool ocean breezes.

Harvesting is done by hand to ensure minimal interference with nature and that grapes are only picked at optimum ripeness. Bunches are hand sorted and selected in the cellar to obtain optimum quality wines.

The Estate is owned by attorney Paul Frost and his wife Sunette. The wine making consultant, Kowie du Toit, has been the recipient of various wine-making awards, examples of which are winning gold at both Veritas and Fairbairn Capital Wine Shows, being a regular participant at The Nederburg Auction and often being in The Absa Pinotage Top Ten.
