Weingut Zevenwacht
Winery Zevenwacht is located on the beautiful Stellenbosch Wine Route, with panoramic views of Table Mountain, Table Bay, and False Bay. The name "Zevenwacht", derived from the Dutch "seven expectations", is a first-class wine farm with a 300-year history. The current owners, Harold and Denise Johnson, acquired the farm in 1992.
Two first-class agricultural sites supply Winery Zevenwacht with high-quality grapes. Currently, the Zevenwacht wine range includes Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The slopes of Zevenwacht not only produce wines but also mark the location of one of the Cape's most remarkable economic enterprises - the tin mines that were operated here in the years before the First World War..
Tasting notes
Der Z Collection Sauvignon Blanc vom Winery Zevenwacht besteht zu 90% aus Sauvignon Blanc Trauben und 10% aus Semillon Trauben. Dieser Cuvée hat seine Wurzeln in den Schieferböden der atemberaubenden Highfield Farm in Elgin.
Dieser Weinberg wird ausschließlich für premium wine bewirtschaftet. Dafür wird eine intensive Ausdünnung der Triebe und die Entfernung der Blätter nach dem Setzen der Beeren vorgenommen. So können sich optimale tropische Aromen in den Trauben entwickeln.
Die Trauben des fruchtigen Sauvignon Blancs wurden in den kühlen frühen Morgenstunden geerntet und im Keller sortiert. Diese Liebe zum Detail ergibt einen lebendigen Wein mit Aromen von Limette, gooseberry und Nektarine.
Der Z Collection Sauvignon Blanc vom Winery Zevenwacht überzeugt durch ein volles Mundgefühl und einen langanhaltenden Abgang.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
