DESCRIPTION
A fresh, fruity and spicy Shiraz from Stellenbosch in South Africa.
The lowdown:
A little bit of Mourvedre and a tiny bit of Viognier sit alongside the Shiraz in this full bodied wine. It's dark ruby red in colour with expressive aromas of violets, redcurrant and cherries with hints of white pepper and liquorice. On the palate those typical hedgerow berry fruit, dried herbs and white pepper spice flavours come through with a restrained use of oak adding softness. The fresh, vibrant acidity lifts the dark fruit flavours leading to a clean finish.
When to drink:
Being nicely smooth and full bodied makes this an excellent partner to red meats from the grill or barbie, or in winter big beefy stews are just the thing.
PRODUCER
Journey's End Vineyards
Journey's End Vineyard is owned by the Gabb Family, originally from Shropshire in the UK. The Gabb family took control of this picturesque wine farm surrounded by 20 ha of gorgeous vineyards in 1995. By 2011 they had grown the estate to 120 ha. Journey's End Vineyard is truly a family affair with the initial investment made by Roger Gabb and now continued by his son Rollo after taking the helm in 2007.
The family's philosophy is of minimal intervention. The aim of which is to create top-quality, single vineyard and appellation wines that integrate the tension between remaining true to the terroir, and finding their unique expression of it. In a typical vintage, no more than 25,000 dozen bottles of estate wine are produced. Many of these regularly collect trophies on the international circuit.
The Schapenberg terroir has begun to draw a comparison with the likes of Bordeaux, thanks to its sea-facing slopes, excellent soils and the exceptional wine emerging from the general area.
