Description
In a nutshell:
A bright and rounded Stellenbosch Merlot with some striking similarities to some St. Emilions.
The lowdown:
Handpicked grapes matured for 16 months in French and American oak, mostly used. This wine is ruby, clear and bright in the glass. The flavours are ripe, but not overbearing, with notes of violets and subtle spices thanks to the well judged use of oak. Balanced acidity holds everything together, elevates the fruit, and provides a clean, elegant finish.
The Producer:
Journey's End Vineyard is a picturesque Stellenbosch wine farm surrounded by the beautiful Schapenberg hills. Since 1995 it's belonged to the Gabb Family, originally from Shropshire in the UK, who, from small beginnings, have built a highly respected estate. The family's aim is to create top-quality wines which, using minimal intervention techniques, remain true to their terroir and show a unique expression of it. And the fact that their wines are regular award winners is a good indication of the standards they maintain.
When to drink:
Very well made with good ageing potential and very versatile. It'll go nicely with all sorts of red and white meats, stews, casseroles and pasta.
