Huntsman

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.

Malolactic fermentation of all varieties took place in large format barrels, and the wine was left to mature for a further 12 months before being blended, fined and filtered.

All grapes in this wine were handpicked. 70% of the Shiraz and 100% of the Mourvedre and Grenache grapes were hand sorted and destemmed prior to fermentation. The traditional fermentations took 15 days to complete at 20 – 25˚C in automated rotational tanks which submerge the skins using a very gentle action, ensuring soft. silky tannins. 30% of the Shiraz was fermented carbonically, producing a completely different flavour profile and therefore adding complexity to the eventual blend.

Journey’s End is a Stellenbosch wine estate owned by the Gabb family, who have developed the property and its vineyards since 1995. With a focus on Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and other classic varieties, the estate produces site-driven South African wines shaped by its elevated vineyards and Stellenbosch terroir.
