This 2024 vintage is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon, a classic combination that brings both brightness and texture. The Sauvignon Blanc delivers freshness, aromatic lift and line, while the Semillon adds breadth and a more rounded mouthfeel. The vineyards face south to south-west and benefit from cool sea breezes from False Bay, conditions that help preserve the grapes’ natural acidity and aromatic purity during ripening. The soils are mainly decomposed granite with clay subsoil, which helps buffer the vines and support balanced fruit development.
Tasting Notes
Zevenwacht describes the nose as showing vibrant lime, gooseberry and nectarine, with subtle oak spice and fresh nettle undertones. On the palate, it has a generous mouthfeel lifted by fine natural lime acidity, giving the wine length, focus and a clean, precise finish.
Accolades
The 2024 vintage was awarded 93 points in Winemag.co.za’s Prescient Sauvignon Blanc Report and 92 points at the Trophy Wine Show, according to a Zevenwacht release carried by wine
