The vineyards for this wine all come from our Zevenwacht property on the Polkadraai Hills ward of Stellenbosch. The soils are decomposed granite with varying amount of structure and clay in the subsoils and the slopes are South to South West facing with altitudes between 200-350m.

The wine spent 9 months barrel ageing on the lees for a richer mouth feel and underwent partial malolactic fermentation.

The grapes were harvested at 22 – 23,5 ºBrix depending on varietal and site. After whole bunch pressing, the juice was settled and racked to a combination of 20% new + 80 % older 500l French Oak barrels for fermentation.

South African Michelin – star chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen’s very own wine – named after his eponymous lifestyle brand of restaurants, food publications, online learning initiatives and homeware – elegantly produced and bottled by Zevenwacht.
