Zevenwacht Z Collection Syrah 2022
R385.00
The nose has an upfront perfume of blackberry and raspberry fruit with obvious pepper and cinnamon spice. There’s a touch of black olives that blends well with the aniseed-like tannins on the finish. A beautiful long and quite fresh finish.
The grapes were fermented in portions done as carbonic maceration, submerged cap and open top with an average of 70% done with whole bunches. All portions were kept separate through the 12 months maturation in 2nd fill 1000L Foudres, before blending to find the desired balance of fresh fruit and spicy complexity.

Description
Zevenwacht, situated 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 modern wine farm with a 300 year history. A family owned and managed Estate, the current owners, Harold and Denise Johnson 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. Two prime farming locations supply the Zevenwacht winery.
The home vineyards on Zevenwacht’s 450 hectare maritime property supplies the bulk of the wine that fills the 1000 ton cellar. The farm Zevenrivieren, at the crest of the “Helshoogte” (Heights of Hell) Pass, overlooking Stellenbosch, provides equally outstanding grapes and adds fascinating variety to the collection. Our winemaking philosophy is simple – quality begins in the vineyard.
