The wines of Zevenwacht Estate are distinguished by their finely crafted
elegance and classic style. Our winemaker, Jacques 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 200 hectares of the 500 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.
Take a leisurely stroll through the vineyards and enjoy their unique
beauty, changing yet inviting at all times of the year. Feast you
senses on the breathtaking panorama of Table Bay and False Bay
that unfurls before you.
Experience at first hand the artistry and technical skill that
transform grapes into fine wine. Visitors are welcome to
tour the cellar by appointment.
Savour the pleasure of sampling wines on their home ground, within
sight of the vines on which they grew and of the cellar in which
they were produced and matured. Open seven days a week.
