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
The 2017 vintage of Journey’s End V2 Merlot exhibits a clear, ruby hue with pronounced aromas of blackcurrants and raspberries, complemented by subtle blackcurrant leaf notes. The palate reveals layers of vanilla and nutmeg, derived from well-integrated oak, culminating in a polished and elegant finish. The wine's soft tannins provide just enough grip to suggest good cellaring potential.
Food Pairing
This Merlot pairs well with dishes such as roast lamb, beef stew, and mushroom risotto. Its balanced structure and fruit-forward profile complement hearty and savory meals.
