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.

The vineyards for JAN mostly 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. A portion of Chenin Blanc comes form our Banghoek property with more alluvial soils. The grapes were harvested at 22-23.5 Brix depending on varietal and site.

The wine spent 4 months barrel ageing on the gross lees for a richer mouth feel and underwent partial malolactic fermentation. 15% New French Oak

After whole bunch pressing, the juice was settled and racked to 500L French Oak barrels for fermentation.
