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 grapes for this blend originate from prime vineyard sites that face South westerly and westerly ranging in altitude from 100m - 200m above sea level. The vines are trellised on a seven-wire hedge system that allows for 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 metre. The sub-soil retains essential moisture with gravelly, granite derived topsoil allowing for effective drainage.
in the cellar : We aimed for soft tannins and ripe dark fruits and used 500L seasoned French oak barrels to mature this wine for 12 months and to add to the complexity.
