Philip van Staden

Winemaker
Dornier Wines
Philip van Staden is the winemaker at Dornier Wines in Stellenbosch.

Philip van Staden has been working in the wine industry for 15 years and has acquired a great deal of knowledge during this time. With this treasure trove of experience, he came to Dornier in October 2015. Having grown up in Stellenbosch, he also completed his studies here and worked on his career as a winemaker.

For Philip, the region is one of the best in South Africa when it comes to creating red wines. Whether red or white, every single step of the winemaking process is important to the winemaker – from the vineyard to the finished product.
