Doolhof Wine Estate

Doolhof Wine Estate Welcome to Doolhof Wine Estate, a winery nestled at the base of the Limietberg mountains. Doolhof means labyrinth in Afrikaans.
(325)

In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was an elaborate structure constructed for King Minos of Crete and designed by the legendary artificer Daedalus to hold the Minotaur, a creature that was half man and half bull and which was eventually killed by the Athenian hero, Theseus. Daedalus had made the labyrinth so cunningly that he himself could barely escape it after he built it. Labyrinths, as opposed

to mazes, offer only one entry and exit point – a single pathway to the centre. From time immemorial, Labyrinths have been utilised as a form of meditation. By focusing on the pathway and the intricate turns one calms the mind and realigns the thoughts. When Settlers first set sight on this magical valley in the early 18th Century they noted the many hills and vales and aptly named it Doolhof. Today, this labyrinthine topography is harmonised with the positioning of our vineyards, making good use of the many micro-climates and terroirs which are ultimately expressed in the Doolhof Estate wines

Stage racing is tough, but the recovery shouldn't be. 🍷

At the M&G Investments PE Plett, we believe in taking race village hospitality to a completely different level. While most events stop at the finish line, we’re all about those premium added extras that make the sore legs totally worth it - like treating our riders to complimentary, top-tier Doolhof Wine Estate selection every single evening.

But what makes this setup truly special is the personal touch. Johan, the Manager from Doolhof Wine Estate , isn't just sending bottles our way - he’s actually out there suffering on the trails alongside you! After conquering the route each day, you’ll find him hanging out in the chill zone every evening.

Whether you’re cooling down with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or sipping a rich Malbec & Merlot, Johan is right there sharing a glass, swapping trail stories, and giving everyone the inside scoop on how these incredible wines are crafted right in the heart of Wellington.

Having the guy who knows the wine inside-out sharing a post-ride drink with us is exactly the kind of vibe we love. Cheers to the ultimate post-stage pour and the legends from Doolhof Wine Estate who bring it to life! 🥂🚵‍♂️

Today, we raise a glass to Chenin Blanc🍇

As one of South Africa’s most loved and widely planted varietals, Chenin Blanc has a beautiful way of telling the story of our soils, our seasons, and the people behind every bottle.

Here at Doolhof, we’re proud to share three Chenin Blancs from our farm - each with its own expression, character and sense of place.

Whether you’re joining us for a wine tasting, ordering your favourites online, or spending the day with us in the valley, we invite you to celebrate Chenin Blanc Day with us.

To mark the occasion, Mila Restaurant will be serving a special curry + glass of Chenin Blanc pairing for R195, available from 13 June until Tuesday, 16 June at 15:00.

Come taste, sip, pair and celebrate with us.

Our people, our valley, our story.

We’re so proud to share that Doolhof is featured in S2E3 of Die Reine Wynheid, with winemaker Rüdger van Wyk and Mercia Plaatjies, who was born and raised right here on the farm.

From our award-winning Malbec to the slopes of the Limietberg and Groenberg mountains, this episode shares a beautiful glimpse into the people and place behind Doolhof.
