Conservation and Sustainability
Environmental management and conservation is a high priority at Zevenwacht. To this extent some 80 hectares of Renosterveld to the Bottleray Hills Conservancy is conserved.
Zevenwacht has worked extensively to remove invasive plant species and rehabilitate endangered Renosterveld vegetation, allowing this unique and fragile ecosystem to thrive once more.
As a proud member of the Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy, steps were taken with intention to protect the land, preserve wildlife, and safeguard it for future generations.
Zevenwacht’s Renosterveld
Zevenwacht, a member of the Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy, is actively involved in efforts to preserve our natural floral heritage known as Renosterveld, for the enjoyment of future generations. The Renosterveld family forms part of the world famous Cape Floral Kingdom. While not as well known as Fynbos, it is often mistaken for it. One of the main differences between Renosterveld and Fynbos is the fact that Renosterveld grows on nutrient rich soils, while Fynbos is found on higher ground, inhabiting areas with little nutrients. What makes Renosterveld more spectacular are the hidden gems which only flower for short periods during the year mainly from August to October.
​
The flowers of this veld type, are truly spectacular and form part of the Capes amazing variety of bulbs and wild flowers .
Zevenwacht has realized that its Renosterveld conservancy is of great importance for the continued conservation and promotion of this amazing plant family. The fact of the matter is, approximately 70% of the Renosterveld that still exists, occurs on private land.
​
The Bottelary Hills Conservancy was awarded UNESCO Biodiversity “Hot Spot” status and incorporated into the Boland Biosphere Reserve, which in itself is regarded as a World Heritage Site.

WWF Conservation Champion Status
Zevenwacht Wine Estate
​
has officially been recognised as a WWF Conservation Champion, joining a group of environmentally responsible wine farms committed to sustainable practices and biodiversity conservation.
Solar Energy
Environmental management has been extended to include the installation of 884 solar panels on the cellar roof. The solar panels were installed early in 2021 and is part of efforts to spare the environment by cutting down on the dependency on fossil fuels as supplied by Eskom. The energy supplies some of the power required by the farm.
The sustainability journey extends across all aspects of the estate. From solar energy integration and responsible water management systems to ethical labour practices aligned with our journey to full WIETA certification, every initiative supports both environmental integrity and exceptional winemaking.
WIETA Accreditation

the Estate meets rigorous ethical standards, ensuring: fair treatment and respect for workers; fair labour practices; safe working conditions; worker’s rights; social responsibility and compliance with labour laws.
WIETA accreditation provides assurance to consumers and buyers that the winery prioritises ethical practices and worker welfare. It’s a mark of excellence and commitment to sustainability.
Integrity & Sustainability, IWP Accreditation
To highlight out commitment to environmentally responsible wine production and the preservation of the rare and endangered flora and fauna within our conservancy, Zevenwacht created the 7even's lifestyle range which conveys these elements to the consumer and also reflects the membership of Sustainable Wines of South African (SWSA) symbolised by the Sugarbird in its design.
Having IPW accreditation (Integrated Production of Wine) confirms that the wines are produced sustainably, with consideration for the environment and social responsibility.
