Journeys End
In 1995 the Gabb family (originally from Shropshire UK) took control of this picturesque wine farm surrounded by 20 ha of gorgeous vineyards. They have invested heavily in both the vineyards and the winery since then – with the estate growing to 120ha by July 2011. The initial Journey’s End investment was made by Roger Gabb who at that time was Founder and Managing Director of Western Wines. Following the sale of Western Wines to Constellation brands in 2006 the family turned their focus to their estate Journey’s End. Upon taking the helm in 2007 Roger’s son Rollo has since invested further into the estate through vineyard purchases and infrastructure.
Description
Expressive aromatics of violets, raspberry, and candy floss with hints of cinnamon spice. Juicy layers of red and dark berries break through on the palate accompanied by soft powdery tannins.
Food Pairing
An unintrusive, easy drinking summer red that is to be seriously enjoyed but not taken too seriously – cool down slightly for the ultimate summer braai/barbeque red.
