Tasting Notes

A luscious lifestyle wine with aromas of raspberry and white pepper spice. A juicy palate or red berries and chocolate with slight cedar wood undertones. Soft pliable tannins lend subtle support to the structure yet are unobtrusive on the succulent palate.

Food Pairings

Our favourite combinations include seared tuna served on a bed of baby spinach or a good steak braaied to perfection and served with a pepper sauce. A vegan option is also wild mushroom risotto – simply enjoyable.

FOOD PAIRINGS
Pairs beautifully with venison, so try dishes like a pepper crusted Kudu fillet or slow roasted Springbuck shanks

GRAPE VARIETALS
100% Syrah

The wines of Zevenwacht Estate are distinguished by their finely crafted elegance and classic style. Our winemaker, Hagen Viljoen, honors the centuries-old wine-making traditions, yet is boldly innovative, welcoming the contribution that modern technology makes to the vinification of premier wines.

Covering 100 hectares of the 350 hectare property, the vineyards of Zevenwacht are ideally situated for the growing of quality grapes. Extending up the slopes of the Ribbokrant, the south and south-west facing vineyards are protected from the intense heat of summer afternoons by the Bottelary Hills and cooled by the sea breezes “blowing off” nearby Table Bay and False Bay. Characterized by good quality, varied soils, the vineyards have been selectively planted with red and white noble varietals.

Situated on the Stellenbosch Wine Route, Zevenwacht has viticultural roots which penetrate deep into the historic past of South Africa. While literally meaning Seven Expectations, the name Zevenwacht exemplifies the abundant delights which await visitors to the Farm.

A family owned and managed Estate, the current owners, the Johnson family purchased the farm in 1992, and have committed themselves to a programme of development to realise Zevenwacht’s rich potential beyond wine production. The estate has a strong commitment to historic and cultural preservation, as well as the active socio-economic upliftment of its workers and their families.
