Seven Sisters (Non EU/UK)

Seven Sisters was borne from the inherent appreciation of premium wine and a passion to serve the contemporary woman and fellow sisters.

Paying homage to the Seven biological founding sisters, including Vivian Kleynhans, whose motivation surpasses familial and authentic hospitality to encompass a welcoming spirit of generosity, Seven Sisters Vineyards has focused on celebrating and empowering women and does so by sharing authentic cuisine, inclusive space and accessible wines with its patrons.

The Seven Sisters wine range is crafted according to the personality of each sister from vineyards in the Breede River Valley.

These wines have received excellent local and international support. The Seven Sisters Sauvignon Blanc was selected in 2009 as the very first South African wine to be served on board American Airlines. The United States of America was the very first market for the Seven Sisters range of wines. Today Seven Sisters is also sold in the EU, predominantly in The Netherlands
