Zevenwacht Wine Estate, situated on the beautiful Stellenbosch Wine Route is a modern wine farm with a 300-year history. Owned and managed by the Johnson Family, the Estate has a strong commitment to historic and cultural preservation as well as conservation of the surrounding indigenous environment. Two prime farming locations provide the grapes for the Zevenwacht winery. The home vineyard on the Estate’s panoramic 450-hectare maritime-influenced property, supplies the majority of the grapes. The farm Zevenrivieren, situated at the crest of the Helshoogte Pass, provides winemaker, Hagen Viljoen, with a boutique selection of grapes that add to the fascinating variety of the wines.

in the vineyard :

The vineyards for this wine are situated on the northern slopes of the Banhoek Valley, ranging in altitude from 450 - 500m above sea level allowing for moderate temperatures.

about the harvest: We harvest eight tons per hectare.

in the cellar :

The optimally ripe bunches were given an overnight “cold-soak” to allow for colour extraction early in the winemaking process. Fermentation took place with temperatures peaking at 28ºC. The wine was pressed off the skins directly after fermentation and following malolactic fermentation, it was matured for 12 months in seasoned 300L French oak barrels.
