Launched on 3 December the new eco-pod is in keeping with Stellenzicht’s aim to tread lightly on the earth – it has no concrete foundation and sits on “crows’ feet” with little impact on its surrounds. Waste water from the pod is treated and returned to the farm dams while the structure will soon be running entirely on solar power, and the pod is easily moved and reusable, leaving little trace behind.Landmark Stellenbosch winery Stellenzicht has unveiled an innovative eco-pod offering visitors an environmentally-friendly wine tasting experience immersed in natural surroundings of fynbos wilderness at the foot of the towering peaks of the Helderberg mountains.
The historic farm has been transformed over the past four years since its sale to renowned German wine collector Baron Hans von Staff-Reitzenstein and they have re-launched an entire portfolio of wines earlier this year. With a focus on sustainability at the heart of the estate’s revival, vineyards have been replanted, alien vegetation removed, and indigenous flora and fauna gradually re-established.
“Stellenzicht is on an ongoing journey of sustainability and it was important to us that our brand home reflects our values. The pod is erected with no need for excavations and none of the environmental impact of conventional construction.
