Description

Cabernet Sauvignon An elegant example of this noble variety, showing layers of ripe blackcurrants, red berry, mulberry and black plums with hints of cedar, meat extract and mixed spice. A balanced wine with lots of fruit and fine notes of spice and tobacco on the palate. This wine displays a smooth, complex finish. The velvety character is a result of generous oak maturation resulting in finely textured tannins and a long-lasting finish. Complex and layered.
Founded in 1996 by the Gabb family, Journey’s End is the most southerly planted vineyard in the Stellenbosch wine region, nestled among the picturesque Schapenberg Hills, beneath which lay 350 million year old decomposed granite soils. As well as fantastic views, the vineyards benefit from the cooling and cleansing south-easterly wind, known locally as the ‘Cape Doctor’, which comes in from nearby False Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.Journey’s End focus on expressing this incredible terroir, while preserving the natural environment and wildlife with a sustainable approach to farming and all winemaking activities, as well as being a force for good in the local community.
Sustainably & ethically produced.

Vinification Details

The Grapes are handpicked from vineyards growing on predominantly decomposed granite-based soils. Vigorous hardy vines deal well with the strong winds and produce beautiful quality grapes with compact bunches and small berries and thick skins. The whole berries were cold soaked for 5 days before being inoculated. Fermentation lasts 15 days in stainless steel tanks. After being pressed off the skins the wine is left to mature in French oak barrels for 16 months.

History

The Gabb family purchased their first vineyards in South Africa in 1995. Since then, they have always been wholly committed to sustainably and ethically producing excellent wines. The vineyards grow on the Schapenberg hills, blessed decomposed granite soils some of the most prestigious terroir in South Africa. As well as incredible views, these vineyards benefit from the cooling winds known as the ‘Cape Doctor'.

Regional Information

The success of the wine region and its wineries stems from the near-perfect growing conditions that the area experiences as a Coastal Region. With consistently warm temperatures throughout the year, along with a cooling ocean influence, the vineyards have both the heat and breeze to ensure balanced wines. While the heat allows for ripe, structured wines, the cooling breeze ensures for sufficient acidity in both the whites and reds.
