About Aan de Doorns Wine Cellar
Established in 1954, Aan de Doorns Wine Cellar is a cooperative winery located about 8km from Worcester on the R43 towards Villiersdorp, in South Africa's Western Cape. Its name, Dutch for 'at the thorns', comes from the thorn trees that once lined the banks of the nearby Doorns River. The cellar draws grapes from roughly 1,600 hectares of vineyards farmed by around 27 member growers across the Breede River Valley, one of the largest cooperative operations in the Worcester region. Through its partnership in the First Cape Group, the cellar exports widely, notably to the UK. Its range spans Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Muscadel and Cape Ruby Port, alongside the everyday-drinking Route43 and Doornroodt blends, all built around a philosophy of consistent quality at an accessible price.
Who Is This For?
