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

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.
