As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the new year with open arms, the Stellenzicht team would like to take a moment to reflect on the successes we have achieved over the past year. It has been a remarkable journey filled with growth, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence in winemaking.

1. Increased Production and Quality

In 2023, Stellenzicht Wines experienced a significant increase in production, allowing us to share our exceptional wines with even more wine enthusiasts around the world. Despite the challenges faced by the global wine industry, our team remained committed to upholding the highest standards of quality in every bottle we produced.

2. Award-Winning Wines

We are proud to announce that our dedication to excellence has been recognised through numerous prestigious awards and accolades. In 2023, Stellenzicht Wines received a total of 15 awards, including Lumo Red Wine of the Year, Gilbert & Gaillard Double Gold Medals, Winemag Prescient Top 10, Shiraz SA Top 12. These accolades serve as a testament to the passion and expertise of our winemakers.

3. Sustainable Practices

At Stellenzicht, we understand the importance of sustainable winemaking practices for the preservation of our environment. In 2023, we continued to prioritise sustainability by implementing innovative techniques such as water conservation, organic farming, regenerative farming through the use of cattle, rehabilitation of native flora and energy-efficient processes. These efforts not only contribute to the longevity of our vineyards but also ensure the production of wines that are both environmentally friendly and of the highest quality.

4. Community Engagement

As a responsible member of the community, Stellenzicht Wines actively participated in various initiatives aimed at giving back. In 2023, we collaborated with local charities and organisations to support education and community building (The Cangro Upside Down Tomato Challenge), and environmental conservation projects (The Rhino Project's Rhino Run 2023). We firmly believe in the power of wine to bring people together and make a positive impact on society.

5. Customer Satisfaction

Our ultimate goal at Stellenzicht and the Wine Pod is to provide our customers with an exceptional wine experience. In 2023, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers locally and around the world, earning us the Top 12 Reviewer's Choice Award with Dineplan, South Africa's number #1 online booking platform. We are grateful for the trust and loyalty our customers have shown us, and we remain committed to continuously improving and exceeding their expectations.

As we embark on a new year, the Stellenzicht team would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our customers, partners, and supporters. Your unwavering support has been instrumental in our success, and we look forward to sharing many more memorable moments with you in the years to come.

Wishing you a prosperous and joyous new year filled with love, laughter, and of course, exceptional wines.

Warm regards,

The Stellenzicht Team
