Jan Red 2021

The Jan Red 2021 is a blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Dark on brooding on the nose with plum, black berry and sage. The wine opens to show cranberry and pepper spice with juicy red fruit on the palate, underpinned by subtle hints of oak.

Enjoy with a hearty stew with root vegetables or a roasted leg of venison served with caramelized onions and a dark cherry sauce.

ageing : A delicious wine to be enjoyed now or over the next five years.

South African Michelin-star chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen’s very own wine – named after his eponymous lifestyle brand of restaurants, food publications, online learning initiatives and homeware – elegantly produced and bottled by Zevenwacht Wine Estate.
in the vineyard : These vineyards are all situated on South westerly and westerly facing slopes ranging in altitude from 100m - 200m above sea level. All the vines
are trellised on a seven-wire hedge system that allows for perfect containment of the sometimes-vigorous growth habits of the Shiraz and Grenache varieties. Pruned to two-bud spurs, allowing for 16 - 18 bearers per running meter.
in the cellar : All cultivars were fermented separately in open red wine fermenters. The fermentation temperatures hovered around 26° C peaking at ±28° C. Regular pump overs helped with extracting intense colour and soft, pliable tannins. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked to 500L French oak barrels with 15% new oak. The different components were aged for 12 months before blending.
