Zevenwacht: Seven Expectations, Countless Moments of Pleasure

The Estate & Terroir

Zevenwacht, whose name means "Seven Expectations," is a gem in the Stellenbosch wine region. Nestled in the Bottelary Hills, the estate benefits from the cool breezes of the nearby False Bay. This maritime climate ensures a slow and even ripening of the grapes, giving the wines their characteristic freshness, elegance, and complexity. The diverse soils and slopes allow for the cultivation of a wide range of grape varieties that perfectly express the unique terroir of Stellenbosch.

Wine Ranges in Our Selection

Our selection from Zevenwacht reflects the impressive diversity of the estate. You will find classic varietal wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, and Syrah, which are characterized by their varietal typicity and accessibility. The "Jan Red" and "Jan White" lines offer uncomplicated blends for everyday enjoyment. A step up are the "The Tin Mine Red" and "The Tin Mine White" blends, which impress with their complexity and character. The portfolio is crowned by the "Z Collection," a premium line with outstanding single-vineyard wines like the Z Collection Reserve, which impressively demonstrate the full potential of Zevenwacht.
