Viniou Reviews

Château Zevenwacht’s 2015 Cuvée Reserve from Stellenbosch is an emblematic red wine showcasing the depth and complexity of South African winemaking. This cuvée is often a sophisticated blend of classic Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, sometimes complemented by Shiraz, depending on the vintage’s conditions. The 2015 vintage benefited from a dry, warm growing season, leading to concentrated fruit and excellent ripeness. Winemaking at Zevenwacht typically focuses on meticulous selection, gentle extraction, and ageing in French oak barrels, bestowing structure, integrated tannins, and subtle spiced undertones. Expect a deep ruby colour with pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, and hints of tobacco and chocolate. On the palate, the wine delivers ripe dark fruit, framed by fine-grained tannins and a long, harmonious finish.

Stellenbosch, nestled within South Africa’s Coastal Region, stands as the country’s most prestigious winemaking appellation. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate – warm, dry summers tempered by cool breezes from False Bay, and mild, wet winters. The region’s diverse soils, ranging from decomposed granite to clay and sandstone, allow for nuanced expression of classic varieties. Stellenbosch’s winemaking history stretches back to the late 17th century, its legacy built on the fusion of European tradition and dynamic, innovative viticulture. The terroir, climate, and winemaker’s skill converge beautifully in the region’s red blends, making them internationally regarded and highly collectible.

With its generous structure and layered profile, this Stellenbosch red is ideally matched with dishes that mirror its richness and complexity. Traditional pairings include springbok carpaccio or slow-roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic. For a more international touch, consider beef bourguignon, grilled ribeye steak, or a hearty mushroom risotto. Robust cheeses, such as aged cheddar or blue cheese, will also find harmony with the wine’s depth.

For optimum enjoyment, decant the wine for an hour before serving and pour at a temperature of 16-18°C. This allows the bouquet and palate to fully unfold, revealing the intricate complexity that characterises this fine Stellenbosch red.
